Gadais Pere & Fils, Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine Sur Lie 'Navineaux Amphibolite', 2024

From a 3-hectare parcel rooted in amphibolite—iron and magnesium-rich rock—Gadais's Navineaux cuvée traces its lineage to 1616, documented in vineyard leases of the Loire Valley's historic Melon de Bourgogne plantings. This sur-lie Muscadet speaks to terroir and tradition: purity and finesse drive the nose of citrus and white blossom, while the palate delivers thirst-quenching minerality and saline salinity. A wine of elegance and purpose, perfect for seafood or aperitif.
