April 21, 2024 - Not a lot of pleasure with this bottle which was either off or had passed its pick. Nice nose, ripe, mainly on orchard fruits. The palate disappoints, heavy and quite flat. Not what I expect from a Muscadet. Consistent with my previous tasting note, I’m not optimistic for my last bottle.

December 13, 2020 - Ripe and giving with a youthful nerve. Extraordinary minerality. Quince. Very wide and spacious. Dreamy and ample acidity without anything offending, still delivering superb freshness. Magic

April 23, 2020 - Nez évolué de pommes, cire chaude, pain d’épices. Bouche étonnante de belle tenue qui, elle, ne fait pas son âge. Longueur impressionnante pour un vin de ce prix. L’aromatique est toutefois un peu terne, une amertume évoquant les noix. 87 pts
