Pretty sure we tasted Guy Bossard’s 2009s in barrel in January of 2011, we were WAY late for our appointment that day (drove 90 minutes in the morning from our B&B near Chinon, started at Luneau-Papin, then lunch (which took seemingly forever), which in turn made us late for our visit to Marc Ollivier at Domaine de La Pepiere. After a great (albeit long) visit with Marc, he was then kind enough to call Guy for us to tell him the 3 idiot Americans who were his 4:00 pm appointment would hopefully make it by 5:00-5:30 pm. Guy was nothing if forgiving and gracious, he had a young Dutch gentleman there when we arrived, Fred Niger, who we found out later was in negotiations to buy Domaine de l’Ecu from Guy, which DID happen (and Fred and his wife still own the estate). Domaine de l’Ecu had already been biodynamic for some time (and remains so), and was maybe the first of the Muscadet producers to do so (???). This wine, the top end Granite cuvée, is still quite alive, but it’s time to drink up. Fun times wine tasting in Muscadet in January of 2011!!! — 3 days ago

Wow, really tasty with a delicate nose of wet rocks, and white stone fruits. The palate is bold, with a slight salty undercurrent, a nice acidity, and slightly tart fruit flavors of cantaloupe, apricot, and slightly fizzy on the finish, petering out into a delicate minerality. Great pairing for savory chicken dishes and best drank with a light chill! — 5 years ago

So delicious... not too funky or acidic; manages to keep great fruit quality while also showing all the natural and unfiltered hallmarks. — 5 years ago
