BATARD LANGELIER 2024 MUSCADET LES PRIERES SEVRE ET MAIN

This exceptional white wine is crafted from 100% Melon de Bourgogne, sourced from 20-plus-year-old vines rooted deeply in the metamorphic granite soils of the Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine appellation. In the glass, it displays a pale straw hue with brilliant clarity and a light viscosity, opening to an enchanting bouquet of zesty lemon, crisp green apple, delicate white flowers, and crushed seashells. On the palate, this light-bodied and bone-dry wine delivers a lively, refreshing attack driven by vibrant acidity, pronounced saline minerality, and flavors of lime zest and tart gooseberry. Winemaker Jérémie Batard champions certified organic farming and traditional vinification, utilizing spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts before aging the wine for seven months on its fine lees in underground glass-lined cement tanks. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this sur lie aging process adds a subtle, creamy textural depth that perfectly balances the wine's crisp, lingering finish.
