If you've a platter of fresh bivalves in your sights, and nothing in the way of wine to slurp them down with, Auguste Bonhomme's your man. His property in Nantes (the Atlantic end of the Loire), is home to our top Muscadet. This is his finest cuvée, pale, lemony yellow in colour, crisp and minerally fresh, with that broad, slightly creamy character you only find in the finest 'sur lie' Muscadet (wine left to gain complexity on its yeast 'lees').
