What can be inferred from the label "Chateau de Jaunay Muscadet Serve et Maine Sur Lie"?

The label "Chateau de Jaunay Muscadet Serve et Maine Sur Lie" indicates that the wine is indeed a crisp white made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape. This variety is specifically associated with the Muscadet region in the Loire Valley, where this wine is typically produced.

The term "Sur Lie" on the label suggests that the wine has been aged on its lees, which are the dead yeast cells left after fermentation. This aging process can impart a subtle creaminess and added complexity to the wine, contributing to its texture while retaining its crisp character. This method is particularly celebrated in Muscadet wines, enhancing their freshness and providing a more rounded mouthfeel.

The other descriptions are incorrect. The wine is not made from Chenin Blanc, which rules out the possibility of it being sweet, nor is it a full-bodied red aged in oak. Additionally, it is not a sparkling wine; Muscadet wines are typically still wines, although there are some sparkling styles in the broader Loire region.
