Tasting Note:
Domaine de la Brégeonnette’s 2024 Muscadet Sur Lie is a beautifully refreshing expression of the Loire’s Atlantic coast. Bright lemon zest, green apple, white peach, sea spray, and crushed stone lead into a crisp, mineral-driven palate. Extended lees aging adds a subtle roundness and delicate yeasty character, while vibrant acidity and saline minerality keep the wine focused and refreshing. A classic seafood white, particularly well suited to oysters, clams, mussels, and anything fresh from the Atlantic.

About the Producer:
Domaine de la Brégeonnette is a family estate in the Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine region, southeast of Nantes, where the Atlantic Ocean plays an important role in shaping the wines. The domaine focuses on Melon de Bourgogne, the traditional grape of Muscadet, producing fresh, mineral-driven whites that reflect the region’s ancient granite and metamorphic soils. Traditional sur lie aging allows the wines to develop texture and complexity while maintaining the bright acidity and saline character that make Muscadet one of France’s most versatile seafood wines.
