Deeply disappointing wine. The label doesn't say "Gorges" and maybe this is simply the regular Muscadet (albeit in a Burgundy shaped bottle, so I don;t know). The problem is the wine is very simple, and has nothing to distinguish itself with. Not too young, not closed down, just simple, in every way.

Reminded me of a dry Tokaji. Acidity is the most pronounced element. Grassy and citrus notes are secondary but come together nicely. Very light mid palette, though it is there. A bitter though not harsh or hot after taste. I wish I had a few more.

Surprising weight and quality for Muscadet. Has more depth like a good Sancerre and a similar flavor profile, but more shells and seashore. Very enjoyable with shrimp.

Robe jaune vif. Vin complexe présentant des notes d'agrumes, d'épices et herbacées. Belle tension en bouche, accompagnée par une certaine rondeur. Très bonne longueur. Ne souffre pas de la comparaison avec un Chablis, même premier cru.

A private dinner (Restaurant Per Se ***, NYC): So you think Muscadet can't age? Lovely freshness, minerality and tightly wound citrussy intensity. As fresh as a daisy. Now - 2022?
