ideally within a year or so of the vintage. 357.Seafood is the classic match to Muscadet because the two dont overpower each other. 358.Muscadet is always a light- to medium-bodied wine. By law, the alcoholic strength can never exceed 12 percent. 106 1000 BEST WINE SECRETS 359.If the label reads Muscadet Sur Lie, the wine has been bottled without removing the leesor spent yeastfrom the cask or tank. As a result, the wine retains a yeasty character reminiscent of warm bread and may have a few gentle bubbles from a slight spontaneous refermentation in bottle. Lie is the French word for lees. 360.Gildas Cormerais Muscadet de Svre et Maine 2004 Sur Lie is fresh and reminiscent of a thick layer of tart lemon curd on a slice of freshly baked bread. 361.Chenin Blanc wines from the Loire can be dry, sweet, sparkling, or still. Regardless of style, the wine always has a streak of bright acidity. 362.Very well-made wines from Chenin Blanc age beautifully. The Savennieres Roche aux Moines 1999 by Chteau de Chamboreau in the Loire Valley is a fine example. Its a complex, elegant wine thats still quite youthful despite some years of bottle age. Lovely honeyed apricot aromas lead to a surprisingly dry palate
