Tesco Finest Muscadet

Expert Opinion

In the press...

Of the 2011 vintage, Jane MacQuitty said: “Mouth-watering Muscadet made from the shy, sharply acidic Melon de Bourgogne grape used to be a rarity. Not anymore. The past decade has seen the western Loire’s tart, tinny Muscadet’s replaced by crisp, light, lively, leafy, glace fruit-streaked whites just like Chateau Palatio. Any of you after a steely spitzy lemon-juice winter white will have met their match with this one. A refreshing Muscadet in such a topsy turvy vintage is a steal”

Of the 2011 vintage, Jamie Goode said: "With lemon fruit and keen acidity, this fresh, bright white would be a good foil for an asparagus and runner bean risotto."
