Excellent last night with oysters and good with mussels and cockles. I have a private note indicating that another bottle became excessively acidic with lobster, so very much pairing sensitive.

Riper style at 12% and with m+ acidity at best. dissolved CO2 and vegetal notes (fennel, arugula, cress) muddles the border between muscadet and Gruner. slight hints of honeyed tones to the fruit belies a difficult vintage where rot and botrytis were prevalent. interesting, if not typical.
An exhilarating Muscadet which went well with moules marinières. Brightly focussed, medium/light bodied, fruit tinged sea breeze aromas, citrus fruit, lots of minerals, crisp acidity and saline backbone. Good+ and excellent QPR at <€4.
