Not your typical Muscadet. Big nose, compact and closed. The palate is spherical, a bit off balance, displaying a bit too much alcohol. Still, in its own style it was a good wine. The following day the last glass was fresher on both the nose and the palate. To be revisited in a couple of years.

Not a lot of pleasure with this bottle which was either off or had passed its pick. Nice nose, ripe, mainly on orchard fruits. The palate disappoints, heavy and quite flat. Not what I expect from a Muscadet. Consistent with my previous tasting note, I’m not optimistic for my last bottle.

Half bottle that was in my cellar for more than 10 years. I really like evolved champagne and this one did not disappoint. Very nice nose, a bit of citrus, chalk and buttery biscuits. The bubble is refined, tamed, nice acidity and ok length
