Copper and salmon colour, rich style as usual, ripe Pinots, vibrant, quite delicious.

Lovely colour, intense but light for age; ever so slight initial oxidative note on the nose blows off; hint of honey; lovely ripe citrus fruit, very characteristic minerality and salinity, delicious freshness, strikes the magical balance between lightness and intensity as only aged Muscadet can. And Aligoté perhaps.

Silky, wonderful depth, good weight of ripe black fruit, hint of stables, lifted white pepper notes, excellent typicity, lovely freshness ("croquant", the sommelier said) and minerality, good tannic grip, lovely length. A wonderful expression of its grape, vintage and terroir.
