  Muscadet with a little age on it is a beautiful thing. Too bad I can’t keep my hands off of them as long as I would like. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful bottle that sings just now with muskmelon, fig, saline, and almond notes. The mouthfeel is bigger than many Muscadets and rolls around and back and forth with good weight. While Muscadet is often my summer go to wine, this just called to me on this winter’s night. 12% alc. With ham under shrimp in a light cream sauce. 01.14.23. Recommended.

  Love the seabreeze description in the previous note.
  
  Tingling pineapple acidly and a lemony citrus note that runs throughout enhaced by saline, chalk, and touch of honey. Slightly waxy texture as it warms, but the acidity cuts right through it. Clean lingering finish.

  Seabreeze, lemon and wet rocks. Mouthfeel is pretty waxy and lush. Refreshing and interesting palate.. Beautifully ripe but understated nose.

  Fresh and punchy, with tropical lemon and floral notes, and a less prominent minerality than I’m used to with leaner Muscadet. This is wonderfully approachable stuff that won’t hurt to age either.

  As other notes have mentioned, it needs some time to get going -- for us it was only about 30 minutes. Typical Muscadet aromatics here, but pushed to the next level. Mineral, ash, lees, and apple-y fruit that just started hedging pineapple. Compared to, say, Chablis, this was a bit watery on the palate, but no complaints here. A strong buy that will reward mid-term cellaring.
