Louis Metaireau Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Petit Mouton 2023

$1799

One of the iconic names in Muscadet, now in the hands of Marie-Luce Metaireau and her partner, who have carried on the family tradition of treating Sevre-et-Maine with the seriousness it deserves. Petit Mouton comes from younger vines at the storied Grand Mouton vineyard, fermented with native yeast and rested on the lees in concrete and glass through the winter before bottling — gravity only, no stirring, no filtration. The result is everything Muscadet should be: taut, salty, precise, with floral lift and a chalky mineral spine. The ultimate aperitif white, and a clinic on what Melon de Bourgogne can be in the right hands.
