Domaine des Tilleuls 2022 Muscadet Vieilles Vignes "Les Venerables" 750ml

The 2022 Domaine des Tilleuls Muscadet Sèvre et Maine "Les Vénérables" Vieilles Vignes is a distinguished, "sur lie" aged white wine that showcases the complexity of 40- to 60-year-old vines grown on schist and micaschist soils. In the glass, it presents a bright, pale gold color with subtle green reflections, opening on the nose with an intriguing blend of delicate floral, lemony, and iodine notes. The 2022 vintage is a cerebral and alluring wine, featuring complex aromatic layers of white peach, crabapple, and a hint of salinity that mirrors its maritime terroir. On the palate, this medium-bodied Muscadet is both vibrant and structured, balancing a creamy, rich texture—derived from prolonged lees aging—with high acidity and a lingering, stony finish. This cuvée offers a significant step up in depth from standard Muscadet, making it an excellent pairing for shellfish, creamy goat cheese, or roasted white fish.
