Aldi's Specially Selected seasonal French white range is a cracker. The Crémant du Jura, Sancerre, Mâcon-Villages, Chablis and Alsace Pinot Gris all are worth their modest prices of £7.49-£13.99, but this Muscadet is a steal. From Chassaux et Fils, it has a creamy, leesy texture and crisp flavours of lemon juice, wet stones and a saline tang. Delicious with a fish pie.
