Michel Delhommeau, Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie 'Dame de Onze Heures' 2023 France Real Cab Franc typicity onPlace: Loire, France Grape: Melon de Bourgogne Vibe: Natural, textural Tasty stuff. No oak, but time on lees adds a real nice mouthfeel to this often water weight variety. Oysters would be the natural pairing and you'd be mad to argue of something much better. That said, this would be a good friend to any fish. ABV: 12%
