MUSCADET,<br />
FROM EVOLUTION<br />
TO REVOLUTION!<br />

With just a single grape variety planted over 8,000 hectares and producing only<br />
dry white wines, a cursory look at Muscadet might imply something simple. But<br />
the minute you taste the wines, suddenly the horizon opens up to complex terroirdriven<br />
offerings, underpinned by recognition of village-designated growths<br />
in 2011. The endorsement points to the quality of the wines, which should most<br />
certainly be on your to-try list.<br />
