August 24, 2023 - This is grea. Flinty, peach, apple, fuzzy fruit. Medium bodied with well balanced acidity
May 1, 2023 - Fresh herbs and citrus fruits. Waxy texture, with a fresh and moreish finish that cuts through your meal. Ready to drink, but will keep for 10+ years.
October 16, 2022 - MuscaDay tasting. Corked
February 24, 2022 - A sophisticated Muscadet that is still going strong at 4 years of age. Quite golden with a creamy "sur lie" character.
January 25, 2022 - Corked
January 21, 2022 - This was oxydised, or prem'oxed. I've had two excellent bottles, and had no idea that a Muscadet could oxydise like this. It has been stored for a few years in my wine fridge, or whatever it is called. Quite surprising.
June 27, 2021 - Crisp and bright with touch of lime and melon on the finish.
April 12, 2020 - Certainly not shy in the acid department, leaning towards lime in the citrus. Maybe I needed a better food match or it's already shut down but this one wasn't really doing it for me. Good, but not up there with other vintages. Still, I wouldn't count it out for the long term as traditionally the L d'Or ages really well.
March 8, 2020 - No note, really. Just should mention is was not as crisp as I would like, a bit more fruit forward.
December 7, 2019 - Drunk over two days. Aromatics varies with time and temperature, going from seabreeze and oysters via the smoky peatinessof Islay malt whisky to fruits like apricot and butter. Beautiful clean texture. Faint bitterness rather than acidity. Lovely.
