Landron Chartier Muscadet Coteaux De La Loire 2021
The Landron Chartier Muscadet Coteaux de la Loire 2021 is a fresh and mineral-driven white wine made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, hailing from the Muscadet region in the Loire Valley. Known for its zesty acidity and saline edge, Muscadet is the quintessential wine for seafood, and this 2021 vintage by Landron Chartier reflects the purity and terroir of the Loire’s maritime influence. The Coteaux de la Loire subregion, where this wine is sourced, is known for producing more elegant and mineral-driven Muscadet wines, thanks to its schist and gneiss soils.
