Domaine de la Fruitiere Cuvee Petit M Chateau Thebaud Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie 2004

"m" is promoted by Jon-David Headrick Selections, imported by USA Wine Imports. Located in the western Loire Valley, Domaine de la Fruitiere's hilltop vineyard is described as "25-50 year-old vines planted in soil rich with granite, mica, and schist". The composition is 100% melon de Bourgogne. 89.5 points. Melon, lemongrass and green apple aromas, a tart minerally palate and nice mouthfeel lead to a crisp mouthwatering finish. Here is an extraordinary palate cleanser (or perfect for a clambake). The closure is a real cork. (A screw cap would be a big plus.) At $13 (Nashville), this is a really good buy and a nice change of pace white.
