| has gloss | (noun) dry white wine from the Loire valley in France Muscadet |
| has gloss | eng: Muscadet is a white French wine. It is made at the western end of the Loire Valley, near the city of Nantes in the Pays de la Loire region neighboring the Brittany Region. More Muscadet is produced than any other Loire wine. It is made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, often referred to simply as melon. As a rule in France, Appellation dorigine contrôlée wines are named either after their growing region or after their varietal (the latter in Alsace only). The name Muscadet is therefore an exception. The name seems to refer to a characteristic of the wine produced by the melon grape varietal : vin qui a un goût musqué - wine with a musk-like taste. Though wine expert Tom Stevenson notes that Muscadet wines do not have much, if any, "muskiness" or Muscat-like flavors or aromas. The sole varietal used to produce Muscadet, Melon de Bourgogne, was initially planted in the region sometime in or before the 17th century. It became dominant after a hard freeze in 1709 killed most of the regions vines. Dutch traders who were major actors in the local wine trade encouraged the planting of this varietal and distilled much of the wine produced into eau de vie for sale in Northern Europe. |
