Muscadet

Starting in the east, on the atlantic coast in Brittany, we have the mouth of the Loire estuary, and Muscadet.

Muscadet wines are made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape.

Muscadet has three AOC levels

Muscadet AOC
Muscadet-Sur Lie AOC
- wines that have been aged on the lees over the winter

Muscadet-Sevre et Marne-Sur Lie AOC

- wines further inland in the Sevre and Marne river valleys. also aged on lees.
