Vignobles Günther-Chéreau , Château du Coing

A Food and Wine Lover’s Guide to the Loire Valley | Eater

"Château du Coing is known for its Muscadet, a dry, crisp, low-alcohol white wine made with the Melon de Bourgogne grape and famously paired with oysters. The vineyard is in Nantes, on the western edge of the Loire, where the Sèvre and Maine rivers meet and cool ocean breezes help moderate the climate, which is responsible for the wine’s refreshing acidity and hint of minerality. While the wines are bright and fresh, they have a distinct creaminess on the palette thanks to aging on their lees. At Château du Coing, which is open year-round, you can enjoy a classic wine tasting with local cheese, or take advantage of the surrounding rivers with a canoe or boat trip." - Lee Musho
