Jerome and Luc Choblet’s 2005 Muscadet Cotes de Grandlieu Clos de la Fine – from a flinty, relatively clay-rich soil – smells of fresh lemon, yeast, and grain in a wheat-beer sort of way, but with hints of jasmin, almond, sea breeze and pungent herbs adding further interest. Lush and yet refreshing on the palate, it offers a distinctive combination of salt and chalk minerality with creamy almond, peach and milled grain richness.
