This has really evolved well, developing a richer, more rounded texture. Still has plenty of acidity and minerality, but there is also that slightly rotten fruit (in a good way) note that older muscadets can have: they can start getting Chablis-like features as they age. Excellent QPR, and this still has a great deal of time IMHO (A-).

Very sound light greenish yellow. Scents of green apple skins. Typical light Muscadet weight. Could have a bit more zip, but excellent soil on the back end. This is not as good as it was 4 or 5 years ago nor as exciting as a 2007 Clos de Briords a few days ago, but it is churlish to nitpick when this bottle probably cost less than a dollar per year of aging.

Couleur jaune, un peu d'oxydation le rend intéressant. Croûte citron dans le nez. En bouche, des agrumes, belle minéralité. Un vin fascinant avec beaucoup de caractère.

(Luneau-Papin Muscadet-Sevre-et-Maine sur lie "L D'Or") This is like drinking Champagne without the bubbles. Maybe a little rounder than the 2002 or 2004 but still jagged yet just as intricately detailed as all Pierre Luneau's wines are. Flavors of fresh stream, wet rocks, lime zest and more rocks. The texture is lovely on this wine and this was gone before I could scream "MUSCADET" at the top of my lungs. Will be socking away some in the cellar.

Deeper colour; that classic Muscadet thing in a minor key; attractive profile, shapely, aging well. Lacks an extra dimension.
