Community Tasting Note

  • dsamuel Likes this wine: 90 points

    December 24, 2021 - Double blind tasting
    Pale gold color with green tint
    Medium aromas of unripe green/yellow apples and stonefruit - barely ripe peach and pear - I found an overwhelming reductive matchstick aroma initially which eventually blew off enough to get some fruit notes - confusing as website states this was aged in foudre?
    Medium plus body with palate of yellow apple/ cream and distinct minerality
    Medium plus acidity with medium alcohol and mild phenolic bitterness and rather short finish
    I found less minerality and lees character in this than I typically find in a wellmade Muscadet - called this Petit Chablis
    Score raised when the price was revealed - nice QPR
    Would drink now - I dont see that this was made with aging in mind
