Domaine de la Vinconniere, Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie АОC,

Interesting facts

‘Sur lie’ (in the lane with FR. "on the lees") — a key phrase in understanding the nature of dry white wine Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie. This term means the wine was matured on the lees and bottled in a special way. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the dead yeast fall to the bottom and form sediment, which is the wine. The wine is aged on the lees until bottling (usually in March) and is bottled directly from the fermentation tank that requires skill, because filtering is possible, but not one particle of the precipitate must not fall into the bottle. These tricks give the wine a creamy texture and add butter notes in the flavor, which preserves the freshness of fruit. This combination of sensations goes well with seafood.
