| | Tasted by chbeaumont on 9/2/2022 & rated 90 points: Cornflower yellow; classic, iodine, saline, crushed rock; whilst retaining plenty of zip this has broadened out; fully mature.Very long indeed. Perfect with mussels. (427 views) |
| | Tasted by gbauer on 4/13/2020: This showed much better than a 2009 Briords last week. Good acid, some fruit, minerality. Very much alive and well. (1343 views) |
| | Tasted by chbeaumont on 8/27/2019 & rated 89 points: Consistent to previous, impactful. (420 views) |
| | Tasted by Vietty on 4/25/2019: White flowers, melon, with an underlying current of stone. The wet concrete description is weird, but there's a hint of it there. Acid was there but did not overwhelm. Much "rounder" wine that expected from a Muscadet but makes sense with the vintage. Had with dinner on day 3 and the fruit was a little fleshier and still very enjoyable. Wife approved, so bonus points. (1579 views) |
| | Tasted by WetRock on 4/19/2019: Bright, expressive nose. Minerals coming out later after initial herbaceousness. Juicy and rich still. At least in terms of Muscadet. Dry finish and a bit round. I think this could have use more acidity but they clearly got some nicely expressive fruit. Good but not exactly classic for the type. (1558 views) |
| | Tasted by chbeaumont on 3/26/2019 & rated 88 points: Pale lemon; classical nose, expressive; dry, correct, good extract, terrific spine right through to an extended finish. Ready but with a long life remaining. (267 views) |
| | Tasted by pjaines on 2/3/2018: Stunningly good muscadet that is at the richer end of the spectrum for a Muscadet with notes of toffee applie, quince and cotton, but cracked through with a spine of minerality. This is more Grand Cru Chablis than cheap quaffer; beautiful finish. (737 views) |
| | Tasted by tdelorme on 5/4/2017: Very good bottle. Developing very nicely and excellent QPR at $18. Revisit in 2-3 years. (2111 views) |
| | Tasted by Tetherton on 10/30/2016 & rated 90 points: A wonderful white wine. Think of seashells, brine and salt air on the palate. Just a lovely wine. It was terrific with a crab, basil frittata! (1860 views) |
| | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 3/22/2015: this wine develops marvelously (2301 views) |
| | Tasted by gregg g on 3/2/2015: Had with the '07. Fatter thank '07, though with plenty of minerality and structure. Gained depth with air and seemed to fan out with lemon zest and slightly herbal. Great flight with oysters. (1951 views) |
| | Tasted by peternelson on 3/1/2015 & rated 89 points: Watergrill: similar to '07 but brighter, more fresh citrus, more fresh yeast note. Again, good weight, bright acidity but not aggressive. Like a Chablis village. (2028 views) |
| | Tasted by eluebchow on 7/29/2014 & rated 87 points: Bright and refreshing, with flavors of lemon, saline, salt and bracing acidity on the finish; This is still rather tight and will probably unwind with additional age (1677 views) |
| | Tasted by tko on 3/4/2014 & rated 85 points: Popped and poured, with rice and Indian vegetables. Tasted fine but disappointing for the price point ($23). Hinted at great things but never yielded much. Is it possible that this has shut down temporarily, or is it petering out? On the palate the wine kept to the front of the mouth and refused to open up and offer much length or depth. Salty caramel, sea breeze, straw, sweet lemon and lime, ripe honeydew, are what I picked up but again all rather subtle and restrained. A little better on day 2 but still lacking intensity.

| | Tasted by MindMuse on 1/30/2014 & rated 89 points: I took to Florida to have at the Oyster Bar, but alas, out of oysters. So I had it lemon, dill, caper tilapia at home. My fish wasn't good enough for this though. Quite nice and vibrant stuff. Darn - last one too. 89+ (1471 views) |
| | Tasted by Mackmoo on 7/14/2013 & rated 89 points: Lovely nose. Clear acidity. (1696 views) |
| | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 3/28/2013: F'ing A wine. (2021 views) |
| | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 2/24/2013 & rated 89 points: MuscaDay 2013 (Tom's House - Washington, DC): Aromas of yellow pear, green melon, salt, apple peel. The palate is pure and fresh, with yellow and green fruits. Nice acidic cut (maybe not as much as other vintages, but still high). I get those usual crushed rocks and citrus peel flavors, but I get more of an herbal kick from this wine. Salty finish. I'd like to try it in another five years to see what it does. (2349 views) |
| | Tasted by tdelorme on 6/14/2012: I agree that this may lack some cut, but shows the strength of the vintage and drinks well above the price point...excellent. (2157 views) |
| | Tasted by nadoum on 5/17/2012: This wine is so fresh and light and invigorating. The nose has this multifaceted thing going on, with anis giving way to stones and a herb element. Addictive. (1965 views) |
| | Tasted by gregg g on 5/6/2012: Day 3 this is starting to show class and breed. Delicious. A very nice start to a long relationship (btl 1/6). (1876 views) |
| | Tasted by JPH104 on 4/21/2012 & rated 91 points: Some serious length and body. Fantastic. (1565 views) |
| | Tasted by WetRock on 2/2/2012: Muscadet at The Wine Country (The Wine Country, Long Beach, CA): Soft lemon nose with a strong sense of sea water. Good concentration and length. Lingers around the palate. Very nice once again. (2111 views) |
| | Tasted by tooch on 12/30/2011: Like most Muscadet, I prefer this at warmer temperatures. After about 30 minutes the sweet lemon component really took off reminding me of lemon tarts I've had in the past. Loved the crushed rocks, the fresh herbs and the body of the wine...just great stuff. (1848 views) |
| | Tasted by cgrimes on 12/10/2011 & rated 90 points: Light yellow color. Nose of lemon, lime, minerals. Similar palate. Great acidity and minerally salinity that comes with a good muscadet. I wish I had gotten some oysters for this bottle. Thanks to my CT secret Santa for this little gem. (1930 views) |
