L'Ecailler Gros Plant du Pays Nantais 2024

Sole UK exclusivity. Fresh, vibrant and wonderfully uncomplicated, this Gros Plant is all about purity and refreshment. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white grapefruit are joined by delicate floral notes and a subtle sea-breeze character. The palate is light, crisp and mouth-watering, with bright citrus fruit, lively acidity and a distinctly mineral edge that gives the wine its refreshing, almost saline finish. Clean and invigorating, it leaves the palate perfectly refreshed.

Produced in the vineyards surrounding the Loire estuary, Gros Plant du Pays Nantais is made from the Folle Blanche grape, a variety prized for its naturally high acidity and affinity with seafood. Long regarded as the classic partner to oysters and shellfish, this traditional Loire white is crafted to emphasise freshness and purity rather than richness. L'Ecailler, meaning "the oyster shucker", is a fitting name for a wine that is at its best alongside the fruits of the sea.
