About the wine
If you like your Picpoul de Pinet, Albarino or Grüner Veltliner then give this one a whirl
-
Muscadet, a famous appellation in the Loire Valley, has the perfect climate for producing light, fresh and fruity wines and don’t Francois and his family know it!
-
They used every trick in the book to make sure their fruit kept all it’s lusciousness resulting in a wine with delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus and grapefruit and mouth-watering flavours of peaches and citrus.
-
The Lieubeau’s have been growers and winemakers for six generations and they pride themselves on producing local, natural, handcrafted wines. If you like your Picpoul de Pinet, Albarino or Grüner Veltliner then give this one a whirl.
Best before
Drink it by now to have it fresh or keep it for later, it will age fantastically! Muscadet is not so well known for its ageing potential as most people drink it young and fresh. But it has a good level of acidity what enables ageing. In the family, we sometimes celebrate with a Muscadet from the early 80's, stunning ageing potential!
Serving advice
Pop the bottle in the fridge one hour before serving.
Food match
Muscadet is famous to be the perfect pairing with any kind of seafood (oysters, mussels, shellfish, fish, scallops) as it comes from the French Atlantic Coast. But a Muscadet Serve & Maine sur lie can also join white meats and poultry, cheese, Asian cuisine...

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Francois and famille Lieubeau
- Nantes is best known as the birthplace of sci-fi legend Jules Verne, but thanks to the Lieubeau family, it’s now on the winemaking map. In fact, their wine-loving ancestors arrived there before Verne was even born.
- Now Francois and co. have decided to combine the Loire’s claims to fame, and we think they’ve come up trumps with this magnificent Muscadet. Decadently dry with citrus aplenty, this is your perfect summer sipper.
The label is based on one of Verne’s most famous stories, a journey into the unknown. Take your own “voyage extraordinaire” with this unusual wine made of pure Melon de Bourgogne, only grown in Muscadet. The label even makes food pairing simple - it’s a classic match with seafood!
