Chéreau Carré, Muscadet Sèvre & Maine (Loire Valley, France) 2024 ($21, Monsieur Touton Selection)

Chéreau Carré has been crafting wine for three generations, staying true to their vineyards’ terroir in the heart of the Loire Valley. Their entry-level Muscadet Sèvre & Maine cuvée is a deliciously refreshing expression, offering notes of white peach, bruised apple, and crisp pear that glide over a gentle, creamy mouthfeel. It’s a classic crowd-pleaser — versatile enough to impress at any gathering, yet grounded in the authenticity of the Loire.
