Château La Forchetière offers this interesting Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu. An organic wine made from pure Melon de Bourgogne and marketed "sur-lie," meaning unfiltered and bottled with its fine lees. A wine of great pleasantness, this Muscadet comes from the area southwest of Nantes, along the shores of Lac de Grand-Lieu. Pale yellow in color, the nose is striking for the richness of the scents. Intense nose with ripe fruit and fresh flowers. In the mouth, however, it is decidedly round. Brisk and pleasant, certainly not lacking in liveliness. In France, in the Loire region, these wines are often offered with oysters and shellfish. For an elegant and alternative evening, instead of the classic bubbly this is a choice that can be considered.
Château La Forchetière is a beautiful estate of about 50 hectares. We are in the heart of the Loire Valley, and specifically in the Nantes region. Here the most cultivated grape variety is undoubtedly the Melon de Bourgogne and with it the Folle Blanche. The vines are on average 35 years old, and production is dominated by fruity white wines, often offered sur-lie, that is, unfiltered and marketed with their yeasts still in the bottle.
