2024 Muscadet de Sevre et Maine, Chéreau Carre
Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, Loire Valley, France
Chéreau Carré’s 2024 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is exactly what good Muscadet should be: crisp, dry, mineral and built for seafood. Made from Melon de Bourgogne in the western Loire, it opens with lemon, green apple, white flowers and a clean sea-breeze freshness, with a subtle stony edge beneath the fruit.
On the palate, it is bright, pure and wonderfully refreshing, with citrus, white fruit and a mouth-watering mineral line. There is no oak, no heaviness and no fuss, just clean Loire clarity and a lemony finish that makes the next glass feel inevitable. A brilliant alternative to Sauvignon Blanc or Picpoul when you want something sharp, saline and quietly classy.
For when
The oysters are cold, the glass is colder, and lunch is already winning.
Pairs with
Oysters, mussels, crab, prawns, grilled sea bass, sushi, goats’ cheese, lemon chicken, fried whitebait or a bowl of salty crisps before dinner.
Chéreau Carré is one of the leading names of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, a family house rooted south-east of Nantes and now guided across several generations. The estate works some of the region’s prized schist and volcanic-influenced terroirs, giving this wine its clean, mineral personality. Fresh, dry and effortlessly food-friendly, it is a classic expression of Muscadet’s great seaside charm.
