Jo Landron 'Clos La Cariziere' - Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie

The 2023 Muscadet from the Loire Valley, France, by Domaines Landron is a gem. Certified organic since 2002, this estate, run by second - generation winemaker Jo Landron since the 1970s, has ditched all chemical pesticides. The 'Clos de la Cariziere' wine is crafted from hand - harvested grapes. Whole bunches are pressed and then fermented for two to three weeks with natural yeasts. This light and fresh wine offers tantalizing notes of salt, kaffir lime, and dried flowers. It's the perfect companion for shellfish dishes and hors d'oeuvres, adding a touch of elegance to your meal.

To enjoy this Jo Landron Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie wine, first, chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. This will enhance its fresh and light flavors. When pouring, do it gently to preserve the natural aroma. As for food pairings, it goes really well with shellfish like oysters, shrimp, and crab, as well as hors d'oeuvres. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can affect its taste. If you have any leftovers, cork the bottle tightly and store it back in the fridge. It should stay good for a couple of days, but the sooner you finish it, the better the flavor.
