  January 21, 2022 - I drink a bottle of muscadet about every five years, so I don't really believe I have a good basis for evaluating this wine vis a vis typicity. However, as wine goes, this is pretty good and well worth the money.
  
  I enjoyed this bottle tonight with a small dinner Brookie prepared a couple of hours ago. Baked beans, new potatoes, chicken breast, all cold. The wine is refreshing, light, and very enjoyable. I see this as a before dinner drink, as I am not a seafood fan. Green apples, salty, very slight grapefruit.

  October 17, 2018 - Enjoyed over two days and I slightly preferred on day 1 as the wine was more bright. Classic muscadet notes of saline but slightly plush as the fruit leaned tropical. A bit rounder on the palate also then one would expect but with enough acid to satisfy.

  June 22, 2018 - Still has those classic salty, oceanic notes, but there's a lot of juicy, tropical notes and some richness in here as well. Plushness combines with that Pepiere focus. Yum.
