Maison Foucher L'Augellerie Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine

Normally $16.99 / Now on Sale for $13.96
100% Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine AOP)

Though based in Alligny-Cosne, on the east side of the Loire, in Nièvre, between Orléans and Bourges to the west, Maison Foucher keeps 40 hectares of vineyards in Muscadet Sèvre et Maine. The Melon de Bourgogne for this Loire Valley white comes from there, from vines that are up to 35 years old.

Aged for seven months on its lees, the Augellerie features a full, clean presentation of its fruit without sacrificing the salinity and minerality that you look for in a Muscadet — like a clear, mountain stream running over a bed of smooth river stones. Try this wine with sharp cheeses and, of course, sea food.
