On quartz, mica schist and gneiss, Vera Cruz finds a nice balance between citrus notes and moderate richness, carried by beautiful bitters. Guide RVF 2023 par Alexis Goujard
Burgundy melon, a grape variety from the Muscadet appellation, does not easily reveal its fruity side. However, when the summer weather is generous and the vines are cared for by talented winegrowers such as the Luneau-Papins, the melon can also surprise with its aromatic intensity. The Vera Cruz 2020 cuvée is reminiscent of certain Chablis wines, offering a happy marriage of lightness and volume, with flavors of fresh pear and butter, on a background of seashells and saline notes, reminding us that the ocean is not far away. Of all Known appellations of France, Muscadet is undoubtedly the most marked by the Atlantic influence. A perfect match for crab and northern prawns.
