Love this stuff: underrated varietal & Bossard is a master: pale straw colored, fresh citrus, salinity & minerals galore. This is a lean angular assassin. We had fish tacos - just fantastic. These are age-worthy so no hurry to drink — 3 months ago

Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2022

This wine has almost no coloring. Its nose is more herb-driven than mineral-driven, but there is a touch of wet sidewalk in the aromas. The palate is dry and rather flat, with only a hint of acidity. As with the smells, the flavors lean into the herbal side of the spectrum with enough minerals to make it a decent pair with shellfish. It is a pleasant enough wine, and for $7 I will not complain beyond this paragraph. I will, however, keep it in mind for when I need a dry white wine for cooking. — 6 months ago

Comte de Saint-Hubert Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 1999

Surprisingly so youthful so as to wonder whether this will last more than 50 years (it’s 25 years old now and barely evolved), absolutely lovely!! — 8 months ago

@Ira Schwartz, they are still producing, but I have learned from the importer that this vintage was apparently their pinnacle, a unicorn I suppose, I have myself tried a few other vintages and they’re not anywhere near this level (sadly).

This is amazing. I’m cellaring three Pays Nantais Muscadets right now but never imagined the grape could run this long.

Clisson Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2005

Probably the greatest musxadet I have ever had! Mature, but showing youth, salinity, mineral, really nice refined edges from the lees aging and bottle age. Lots of gorgeous citrus fruit splashed on granite! — 2 months ago

Expression de Granite Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2010

14 years in, this is taut minerality with some floral as well, great acidity, still has some time to go, though I’d say it’s mature now, very nice!! — 4 months ago
