Eric Chevalier Muscadet Côtes de Grand Lieu Sur Lie 'Le Clos de la Butte' 2020

Here's a hand-harvested, native yeast-fermented Muscadet, one of the shining white wine stars of the Loire Valley and a prime example of the versatility of the region. This one has plenty of refreshing saline character, a hallmark of the category, but with a level of delicate floral complexity — charming and a touch unexpected. Always a raw bar partner, this wine goes the extra mile beyond oysters as an excellent pairing for shrimp, lobster, or even white meat poultry.
