La Pepie Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2023
Bright and dry, slightly effervescent at first opening. Notes of melon and stone fruit, but very light. We had it with scallops sauteed in butter and it was lovely. — 4 months ago

Clisson Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2009
Very cool indeed.
@Doug Powers thanks to a wine mentor I too learned of the beauty of aged Muscadet. He also educated me that Bojo can age. When ignorance is turned into knowledge, it can be very rewarding.
@Ira Schwartz, I remember visiting Marc Olivier @ Pepiere one January (2007?) with two of my wine group friends, he climbed in our car and we drove out to see some of the vineyards, including Clisson. The amount of shells and granite was amazing. One of the nicest vignerons I’ve ever met!!

A few years ago before a short trip to Nantes, @Peter van den Besselaar pointed me in the direction of this producer of Muscadet. “Put it in your cellar and forget about it!” he said. I bought 6 bottles of each of the single “vineyards” varieties (they are called different there) and the only thing is….. it should have been 12 or 18 or….. what a fantastic wines they produce, mineral, acid, full bodied. And the PQR is outstanding. They go (as Muscadet should) with fruits de mer, with steamed mussels or simply alone! — 15 days ago
