  December 6, 2020 - —Holy crap, this wine is good.
  —It has a deeply involving bouquet that weaves together sensations comparable to ripe, sweet lemons, chervil, and sinews of lees, stretched and pliant. Chipped stone; rich vat perfume.
  —If the first things I notice aren’t the usual Muscadet cliches—surf, seaweed, gulls crying—then it’s only because this wine is beginning its long, slow convergence on aesthetics more commonly known as Burgundian. These include marine sensations too, but they are more antique. The sounds of crashing waves are stilled under the surface.
  —The finish tuned and resonant, tantamount to an invitation to suck teeth dry. Salt as hard as granite resolves in a scatter of spring herbs, sour pine, cherries, green apples seared in butter, milled steel; oyster liquor and alto saxophone.

  May 12, 2019 - Elegantly restrained fruit and good minerality. Clean, refreshing. Buy more!

  March 24, 2019 - Third Coast Soif (Chicago, IL): No mention of whether this was the Sur Lie or not, though my notes indicate it wasn't, nor do I make any mention of leesy characteristics in my notes. More intense and mineral than the estate 2017. Comes off with a little less exuberant fruit, but with more mineral structure. Again, brilliant for the price.
