Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Les Gautronnières 2020

- 91 points -

 This 42 hectare vineyard run by the Bonnet brothers, Jean-Jacques and Remi has been certified organic since 2005, and biodynamic since 2010. They have divided their Melon de Bourgogne into parcels to highlight the nuances and subtlety of their individual terriors, and their focus is on producing pure, fresh, Muscadet. Mineral-driven, with a pure core of lemon, river stone, and green apple cloaked by a fine layer of lees and brightened with white grapefruit peel. This meets halfway between tense and friendly, yielding a wine both geeks and novices will be charmed by. Take this slight white liberally now, with oysters as intended.
