Martin-Luneau Muscadet Gorges 2018

The wine is still the perfect match for oysters on the half shell, but with more length and its greater roundness, we often find ourselves reaching for a bottle to go with oven-roasted cod or a simply grilled piece of tuna. The refreshing salinity is there, of course, but there’s more going on in the glass, and it’s a great choice for simply prepared seafood when you don’t want to risk having the wine shout down the fish. The mouth shows pear and lemon, with a pleasant softness from the lees contact (no oak) behind the classic zippy dryness.
