2020 Phileas Muscadet Sevre et Maine – Crisp White Wine from Domaine Les Trois Toits

Domaine Les Trois Toits presents their exceptional Muscadet wine from France’s Loire Valley—a refined blend inspired by Jules Verne’s iconic “Around the World in Eighty Days.” Crafted from premium Melon de Bourgogne grapes harvested in Muscadet’s esteemed La Louer vineyards, this 2020 vintage showcases meticulous winemaking expertise. Vincent and Cécile prioritize depth and complexity by aging the wine on fine lees for up to 18 months, a technique that amplifies texture and flavor intensity while maintaining its signature crispness. With sulfur additions kept below 80 mg/L, this wine reflects a commitment to purity and minimal intervention, offering a clean yet layered drinking experience.

On the palate, it bursts with vibrant mineral notes—think wet stone and saline—balanced by zesty citrus and green apple acidity. Its structured yet approachable profile makes it an ideal companion for seafood dishes, oysters on the half-shell, or herb-crusted salads. Unlike many everyday Muscadets, this cuvée delivers rich layers of flavor without sacrificing freshness, appealing to both casual drinkers seeking sophistication and connoisseurs appreciating nuanced whites from the Loire Valley.

At 12% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious balance between elegance and approachability. A standout choice for those exploring premium French whites or seeking a versatile wine for summer gatherings and refined dining moments.
