Muscadet de Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Chateau de Chasseloir
Winery information: Chéreau-Carré is one of the leading Muscadet producers with substantial family owned vineyards in some of the best locations in the region. Their vineyard area totals 267 acres of the highest quality soil, making them one of the largest producers of Muscadet. The wide variety of ‘terroirs’ available within the estate enables Bernard Chéreau to offer a comprehensive selection of styles including those bottled ‘sur lie’ where the wine is drawn straight off the lees prior to bottling, resulting in a wine with more weight and complexity.
Viticulture: Environmentally friendly viticulture.
Vinification: The wine is aged on its lees ~ 'Sur Lie' until bottling. No oak ageing.
Tasting Note: “Sur Lie” means the wine was matured on its lees until bottling, giving it an attractive “prickle” on the palate and nice weight. Clean tasting with crisp acidity and a bright, fresh minerality.
Every day serving suggestion: Excellent as an aperitif and with seafood and fish dishes.
Blend: Melon de Bourgogne 100%
