Today I am tasting the 2008 Chateau de Chasseloir Muscadet Sevre Et Maine from the Loire Valley in France. I found this Melon de Bourgogne varietal wine with the long name for under $10.
Color
Light in the glass, similar to a Sauvignon Blanc.
Aroma
There is citrus on the nose. It is very fresh with a aroma similar to a cool rainy day or perhaps wet hay (musky). Also a little green apple.
Flavor
The attack is creamy with some butter in the mid-palate. The finish shows some good acidic lemon. This is a very good wine to have with shellfish or other seafood. It is a little heavier than some white wines so it would pair well with fish covered in a sauce. Finishes with a green asparagus note.
Rating
I like this wine. I recommend you try it as a new type of white wine. I rate it 88 points.
