R. Pannier Muscadet Sevre et Maine

2003 Remy Pannier Muscadet Sevre et Maine ($9)
Clear, pale lemon fading to a pale watery rim. Slight petillance detected. Clean, youthful, medium intense nose of minerals, lemon peel, and a slight yeasty character. Dry, with medium acidity. Medium bodied, with light to medium intense flavors similar to the nose.  Medium alcohol with medium length and some lingering bitter acidity. Good quality, simple wine from the neutral Melon de Bourgogne grape, beefed up by the sur lie process. Wine is a bit fatter than average due to the warm vintage, and it should be drunk now and over the next 2-3 years to preserve its intended freshness and acidity.

I've really started to enjoy Muscadet...and this is from a guy that doesn't eat the usually shellfish pariing...
