Delicious wine, if a bit on the acidic side. Maybe with age the fruit had faded a bit. IMO, this would have benefited with pairing with a fish dish in a butter-based sauce that the French make so well. I am a fan of wines by Domaine Michel Brégeon.

Light gold color. Split bottle over 3 hours plus. This has a wonderful crystalline nose, powdery Meyer lemon, bristling wet stones, and more subtle white flowers. The palate has great tension and lift, medium body, citrus, Meyer lemon, brine, limestone and lemon zest. Very long, 60 seconds plus, with a bold citrus infused, stony dry extract finish. Love this. Great paired with our mussels. This has got some legs too - no rush.

Very good. I certainly endorse M. Brégeon's work in raising the pedigree, if that's the right word, of Muscadet. This is a classy wine with lots of nuance, depth, and resonance on the palette. It improves with air - it's much more than just a quaffer with oysters. Actually, I would like to try it with oysters. We had it with roasted pork, which may not be the optimal pairing but it went deliciously with it.

Craft Wine+Beer tasting 3 (Reno): ROCKNROLLER’s note is right on. I would add there is a slight sweet banana note in there as well, and the tart acidity requires food; too much on its own. There is a light cream note in there that’s mostly masked by the bracing sour acidity

Solid but didn't rock me as much tonight even with a prefect pairing of fresh whole dorados.
