Domaine de la Tourmaline ‘Sur Lie’ Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine 2023/24

The Gadais family has been producing high quality Muscadet for five generations. With their entire estate dedicated to Melon de Bourgogne – the appellation’s star grape variety – they’re true specialists. So it’s no surprise that their wines have gained international recognition. This expression is made with 30-year-old vines, and it’s spent time on texture-building lees – indicated by the phrase ‘sur lie’ on the label. It’s the perfect way to discover this classic Loire style. Expect fresh apple, pear and citrus flavours, plus a subtle savoury character. With its rich texture, mineral finish and slight spritz, it’s exceptionally food-friendly – try yours with seafood and shellfish.
