Melon B.
AOP Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu sur Lie
The Muscadet Côtes de Grand Lieu sur Lie Château de la Grange Barbastre is matured 11 months in tank on its fine lees. The « lees » are inactive natural yeast from the fermentation, which lie at the bottom of the tank, giving the wine its specific quality : “pétillance” and brings to this wine a pleasant stability.
Its colour is yellow with golden hue ; it is bright and clear.
The nose is fine and floral.
The attack is slightly mineral with a nice freshness.
This Muscadet develops aromas of white fruits (peach) with some citrus notes ; it is long on the palate.
The long maturing on lees gives this wine structure and roundness.
Served at 10-12°C.
