Muscadet gets a bad rap — dismissed as cheap bistro plonk — but the Côtes de Grandlieu is one of the Loire's most interesting sub-appellations, and Domaine des Herbauges is one of its finest advocates. Their La Roche Blanche spends a full year on its lees, which gives the wine a creamy, almost saline weight that sets it apart from the thin, throwaway versions that give the appellation its unfortunate reputation. This is Melon de Bourgogne at its most convincing: taut, mineral, and unmistakably coastal in character. The 2025 vintage in the Loire was warm but not without freshness, and this wine carries that balance well — there's plenty of citrus bite and oyster-shell salinity, but the lees work rounds it out rather than letting it become austere.
