Tasting Notes
Plant B is a departure from the appellation whites: a wine made outside the Muscadet AOC designation, allowing the Bonnet-Huteau estate to work with different varieties and approaches that the strict appellation rules would not permit. The specific composition varies by vintage; the name signals a creative, experimental spirit. Based on available documentation, Plant B is likely to involve other Loire varieties alongside or instead of Melon de Bourgogne, vinified with the same indigenous yeast and minimal intervention approach that defines the estate. A wine to approach with curiosity rather than expectation of a fixed style. Light, fresh and direct, with the characteristic mineral quality of the Nantais soils. Good with seafood, grilled vegetables and simple summer plates.
