Sunday, November 4, 2018 - Man, ’15 is just not the vintage for me (in Muscadet or Beaujolais). Ripe. This is always a great value and is still a very good wine, but ripe, damn ripe.

I think the glowing reviews on this wine show that people really do like ripeness in wines more than I do for the most part, but to me muscadet should have only "adequate" ripeness to buffer a very, very high level of acidity. That's what the best Briords bring to the table (not to mention great champagne, Chablis, etc.)
