Famille Lieubeau Muscadet Sevre et Maine Confluent 2024, 750ml

Named "Confluent" after the vineyard's location near the historical confluence of the Sèvre and Maine rivers on the L'Aulnaye hillside in Château-Thébaud. Sourced from 20 to 40-year-old organic Melon de Bourgogne vines planted on shallow, well-drained gneiss and schist soils. The grapes were fermented using native yeasts in underground tanks, followed by 6 to 9 months of aging on fine lees with regular bâtonnage (stirring) to build depth while preserving vibrant Atlantic salinity.

Tasting Note:

The wine opens with bright, expressive aromas of green apple, lime zest, and white peach, accompanied by white floral and a pronounced iodized, stony minerality. The palate is dry, energetic, and surprisingly round, balancing a juicy core of citrus with supple texture and mouthwatering acidity. The finish is clean, long, and distinctly saline, leaving a crisp, refreshing impression.
