2020 Sous L'Ocean Muscadet

Sip a wine that’s as refreshing as a sea breeze with 2020 Sous L'Ocean Muscadet by EthicDrinks. Produced by sustainable winemaking methods, this light-bodied French white is as good in the glass as it is good for the Earth. Muscadet is an exceptionally dry wine, and this classic take opens with a pleasant bouquet of citrus, white flowers, and lemongrass. Lemon, lime, and green apple notes mingle in the glass with hints of salinity and minerality. There’s thirst-quenching acidity on the finish, making this wine an excellent palate cleanser. Made from Melon de Bourgogne grapes, Muscadet is named for the area where it is primarily produced, in an appellation within the Loire Valley. Located in Western France, the Loire Valley is an important wine region specializing in crisp white varietals. This Muscadet is part of the Sous L’Ocean line from EthicDrinks.
