Natalie's Score: 93/100

From Le Jardin d'Edouard, Château-Thébaud 2018 Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine is a richly flavoured 100% zesty and flavoursome Melon de Bourgogne from the Loire wine region. Aged 48 months on its fine lees the wine has weight, structure and flavours of ripe yellow apple, pear, plum and is showing briny, leesy mineral notes from end to end. Great acidity to pair with everything seafood, it is drinking beautifully now through 2030.

Muscadet food pairings: moules frites, steamed shellfish hot pot, seafood salads.

Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Deep gold coloured wine, with a pronounced aroma of ripe apple with honey, peach and pineapple and citrus tangy salinity and minerality notes.The wine is dry, with a nice weight in the mouth, full bodied but lower alcohol and racy and bright acidity that leave a fresh spritzy feel on the palate. The full body is due to the 48 months aging on fine lees, considerably more than most Muscadet of the Loire receives.
I tried various goat cheeses with it; the first was Rabel hard goat cheese, coated in rosemary; went well, the wine showed an affinity for rosemary and the cheese and wine complemented each other well. Lemon lime goat cheese worked well; complementing the bright citrus flavours. But ashy soft goat cheese was too acidic and overpowered the wine. as well it drank well on its own.this wine should also pair well with shellfish; the bright lemon/citrus will complement it well.
I paired this wine with 2 local seafood pate(s) from Pelican Fishery; smoked salmon and lobster; absolutely wonderful; some on oatcakes and some on a flatbread featuring garlic and olive oil; really good; both food and wine were enhanced.
