The ripeness of the vintage hardly shows in the fruit profile, which is classically citrus and green apple which a touch of orange blossom, but rather in the roundness on the palate and in the relatively low acidity for a Muscadet, with an odd almost sucrosite note. Almost a chewy texture, dense with minerals, with a leesy finish. Richer than Briords but not necessarily better for it, at least at this stage. Feels like it still needs to integrate. We'll see where it goes.

Fruity, mineral, floral, this has it all. Rich palate with a bit of texture, this has loads of savory pear, grapefruit, floral herbs, a little bit of chablis-like chalky minerality, this is great. Drinking in a really fresh spot right now, opens up and softens a bit over the course of several days. Wish I had more.

A pale straw colour. The nose shows grapefruit and is mineral and floral. There is also minerality on the palate that is well balanced with lively acidity. Lovely.

Drank this with some friends. Really mineral with loads of lemon/lime, chalk, and a creamy texture. Some bang up cru muscadet.

Beautifully chiseled, with quince, honey, and burnished, ripe fruits playing against warm paprika and spice notes. Cru Muscadet at its finest.
