Domaine De La Pepiere Muscadet De Sevre Et Maine Sur Lie 2005

Mark Ollivier is one of the leaders in his appellation, working with all pre-clonal vines and never rushing his young wines off their lees. From soils of granite origin, his basic 2005 Muscadet de Sevre et Maine Sur Lie smells of fresh apple and almond with subtle floral overtones. Surprisingly silken in texture but fresh and lively on the palate, it clings impressively with apple, nut oil and faintly bitter fruit skin flavors.
