Forget everything you think you know about Muscadet. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill seafood sipper – the Ancruère from Vignoble Drouard is aged in old chestnut barrels, a beautifully quirky twist that adds whispers of spice, nuttiness, and nostalgia to this Loire classic. Still crisp, still mineral-driven, but with a rounded texture and subtle depth that set it apart from its stainless steel siblings. Think citrus zest meets sea spray, with a faint woodland echo – a tribute to old-school craftsmanship in a stainless-steel world. Best enjoyed with oysters (of course) – or anything from Moura’s seafood spread when you pay a visit.
