February 23, 2022 - Dark gold, rich, complex, umami-laden, excellent. It's amazing how a good muscadet can transform from a relatively boring quaffer into something as complex as this. All you need is 20 years of patience...

April 7, 2020 - Deep brilliant gold color
Medium aromas of green apple with extreme minerality and salinity - also creaminess on the nose presumably from extended lees contact - minimal if any oxidation and remains quite fresh
Medium palate - creamy lees - all rocks/saline with really no fruit evident on the palate
Medium plus acidity with bitterness on the back palate and medium length
Beautiful aged Muscadet and really holding up well -

September 6, 2019 - Zestier bottle of this than one a few months ago. Very nice. Continue to love drinking these at this stage.

July 15, 2019 - Nice bottle of this. Continuing to gently age. Still life here with nice broadness on finish as it softens. Showing some nuttier notes. Drink other bottles over 3-4 years.

January 9, 2019 - From the get-go it’s pretty clear this is in a good place. Beautiful color, nose is full of crushed stone and minerality. Reminds me of a great village level white burg.
Nice weight and acidity on the palate. There’s no fruit here, just tons of minerality on a lightweight frame.1 person found this helpful Comment
