Domaine de Bellevue Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine Gaia Cuvee Ovoide 2018The nose offers aromas of green apple, lemon, and a hint of saline minerality. On the palate, it is light bodied and crisp with a refreshing acidity that is typical of Muscadet, along with flavors of citrus, green pear, and a subtle herbaceous note. The finish is clean and vibrant, with a lingering mineral character. Country Region: France, Loire Valley Grape Variety: 100% Melon de Bourgogne Packaging: 750ml Rating: WS 90 Best served at 8 10C

On the palate it has a little more body

velvety tannins and tons of freshness

To enjoy with oysters

A distinctly Gevrey-like nose combines notes of earth

of a pale yellow hue with flashes of jade-green

fallen leaves and lavender plus wonderfully fragrant wafts of lilacs and baking spices

opening in the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit

Whilst not a match for Titans like the 1989 or 2010
