Domaine du Fief aux Dames, Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie (Loire Valley, France) 2020

 This is a great summer wine that punches well above its weight at $15.  I found the refreshing acidity and minerality balanced nicely against notes of yellow apples and tree fruit.  As a “Sur Lie” wine, this wine undergoes aging on its “lees” (post fermentation yeast) which provides a rounded and lightly creamy mouthfeel that really sets this wine apart.  It pairs perfectly with oysters but is equally drinkable on its own.  Personally, I enjoy this wine at both the start or end of my evening.
