If you have a plate of fresh oysters with a classic mignonette, reach for the Simon Neau Gros Plant. If you’ve got a Caprese salad or bruschetta spread ready, pull the Simon Neau Gros Plant out of the cupboard. If you’ve found a way to use all your zucchini, grab a glass of Simon Neau Gros Plant to wash it all down. If you’re having hot dogs and tzatziki and it’s too hot to drink red wine, pull the Simon Neau Gros Plant out of the fridge. This lemony, salty, exuberantly acidic wine has been the every-day thirst quencher of the Pays Nantais for centuries that the folks of France’s Atlantic coast drink while their Muscadet ages properly. This latest version by Nantais icon Gilbert Chon is 100% Folle Blanche (Gros Plant’s official name) from the family estate, and the wine is aged Sur Lie to add a little extra textural richness. The flavor profile is classic Gros Plant; salt, pithy lemon, yellow grapefruit, grapefruit zest, apple and ginger aromas lead into a light, pleasantly tart and bouncy palate of white nectarine, more lemon, and peach pit, which finishes with a burst of crisp fruit and salt.
