I was not expecting to see a Muscadet last 17 years let alone that it did not have any sign of aging on the cork or the wine itself. No one could know this wine was more than 3 years old. The color is still light yellow to green with perfect pureness. On the nose it was full of zest and acacias. On the palate, it was crisp lemony very dry, round and very complex. A delight with seafood and oysters. I am only sad that I had one bottle and not many cases of this wine. By far the BEST Muscadet one can ever imagine and can hold on par with even the best Le Montrachet! Amazing year and producer.

I agree with the last reviews. This wine is bad. On top of being de la piquette (as we say in french), it was muddy. I am afraid my second bottle is going to be the same...

Very light on the nose. Red berries with bitterness background. Light to medium body. Deceiving.
