The grapes used for the Domaine Jean Aubron Cuvee Elegance Muscadet are the Melon de Bourgogne variety, fermented in glass-lined concrete and steel tanks and aged there for eight months on the lees. Alcohol is restrained at 12% abv.
I had this amazing white wine at a seafood place in Baltimore's Fells Point area, the Thames Street Oyster House. The bartender gave it high marks, and he was right. It's loaded with minerals and a briny salinity, and was an excellent pair with a tuna salad, lobster claws and a crab cake.
