Wine tasting using the WSET Level 2 Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine.
I will try to stick to the WSET format for my subsequent tasting notes, with a few of my own honest descriptors thrown in.

France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie
Appearance is clear, pale, lemon colour.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with creamy oak aromas, and citrus fruits.
On the palate, this has high acidity, medium body, and flavours of creamy oak with citrus fruit. However, no yeasty flavours detected at all although this is supposed to be a "Sur Lie". Medium finish.
Oaked Muscadet which is quite unusual.
