Muscadet (Melon de Bourgogne)

Fresh oysters showcase a pure oceanic minerality with subtle brininess and sweetness that demands bright, crisp beverages with high acidity. The recommended wines enhance the oyster's natural flavors with their minerality and citrus notes, while the suggested beers offer complementary effervescence and subtle flavor profiles that won't overpower the delicate shellfish.

Steamed mussels offer a delicate brininess with subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with crisp, mineral-driven white wines and effervescent beers. The wines' citrus and saline qualities enhance the mussels' natural flavors while cutting through any richness from the cooking broth, while the carbonation and citrus notes in the beers cleanse the palate between bites.
