Chateau du Juanay Muscadet Sevre – 2023
Im new to wine and this is my first taste of the melon de bourgogne grape and its expression as a muscadet wine.
Notes: Heavy, like a lager, instant strong salinity on the front, fading into tart apple, pear, yeasty and bisquity, and ending with the most minerality I've ever tasted in wine. Impressive minerality. I actually thought it was a bit much until paired goat cheese and melon.
Not shy on flavor. Im reading that the intense weight and yeasty, beer like quality is from the sur lie process. Quite an experience.
