July 1, 2023 - Classic muscadet. Held up very well, a nice leesey texture giving breadth across the palate, and good acidity still to the finish. Briney, iodine nose. Perhaps not super complex, but very cheap on purchase and good value

December 18, 2017 - Interestingly different than the other 2013s from this producer. This wine pale yellow in color comes forward with more acidity but less flavor intensity than the Gneiss, not as much complexity as the Granite. Nose a little apple. Nice drink but a bit short in the finish.
