Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent light-med gold -pear lees-y -med acidity cuts through the rather viscous (for Muscadet) med/med- weight mid-palate to provide some lift to the finish, some melon and mature waxy notes sit atop distinct ripe pear and some saline minerality, just a touch of oxidation -very good and fully mature

Some QPRS (Our home): First time trying this vintage. Slivery gold in color. The nose is good with crushed shells, sea air and minerals. The palate lacks something however. It is a very good wine, but lacks the cut and body of prior vintages. Works well with food, but just falls a hair short of my high expectations. Of course, for the price, this is still a great value.

Light yellow in the glass; nice salinity on the nose, along with minerals/"rockiness".
Acidity frames the wine at first glance, but then fades away - not much of a mid-palate here. Okay, but I prefer the 2010 Terre Pierre Muscadet from Luneau-Papin that I had last week.

Had at Local Roots in Roanoke VA. Solid bottle of wine, nice sea water notes on the nose and palate. Good minerality and acidity as well. Went well as a palate cleanser with all of the dishes.
