Domaine du Heron Muscadet Sevre et Maine sur Lie 2023 (France)

Domaine du Héron Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie 2023

Brisk. Saline. A classic Loire Valley Muscadet shaped by schist soils and coastal influence.
Sourced from 10-30-year-old vines rooted in mica-schist and schist soils, this Muscadet delivers sharp, refreshing acidity and a clean, ocean-kissed profile. Aged sur lie, it gains subtle texture and complexity while remaining beautifully vibrant and pure.
