    November 25, 2014 - Lys grønngul. Eple og stikkelsbær på nesen. Utypisk fyldig for Muscadet, med litt mindre syre enn forventet. Litt gjær, modne epler. Ganske lang smak. Første av fire flasker.

    July 8, 2013 - As per last note. Simple, but tasty. I would suggest now that the acid is med+ - mouth watering and great match with the classic food pairings this wine is known for...would also add that there is a minerality that underlies the experience i didn't appreciate before.

    Will enjoy over 2015.

    October 30, 2012 - First time trying a Muscadet - like this if not a little on sweet side. Nose is light, but pear/citrus zest. Palate is nice with acid, medium weight and lots of similar flavours as nose. Very tasty, if not not overly complex. This is well worth the price. This Muscadet is sur lie and from a more prominent region, so would expect a good experience. This is young, and will do well over the next 2 years easy.

    September 20, 2012 - Clean gneiss minerality on the nose with grapefruit, lime and honeydew melon. The palate is fresh and crisp with melon, citrus, and a pleasant mineral finish. No need to wait; drink now through 2014.
