Carignan & Grenache from old vines grown on gneiss, aged 2y in cement tanks, organic & non filtered.
Fresh & not overly fruity with the carignan driven aromas of fur, roast, leather & spices taking the lead. Some fresh, juicy, minty raspberries in the background.
On the palate this is supple & quite fruity yet bone dry, very fresh & energetic with fine, zippy tannins and a garrigue streak. There’s a nice mineral backbone, too, which comes to shine in the finish.
A lovely, delicious wine, off the beaten track.

2015 vintage. Goulaine is the northernmost of the 7 Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine subzones (considered the highest quality crus). Gneiss and schist soils. This beauty was aged for more than 18 months on the lees. Brillant pale yellow. Intensely perfumed, an intriguing mix of flowers, grapefruit and saffron, combined with a distinctive minerality. Crisp and intense taste with mouth-watering bright citrus fruit, a distinctive saffron-like touch and that typical Muscadet saltiness in the long finish. Incredible value at 19 euro. Note also that these wines (always 100 % Melon de Bourgogne) can age beautifully. — 5 years ago

Wow! This is special. It smells of wet stone and vanilla and tastes of crisp apples with a light champagne finish. The front is warm with a cool finish. Dry. Notes of citrus and unripe pear. A smidge woody and a gentle yeastyness. Love this! — 3 years ago

Mmmmm. Sleek, charming, and complex - I need to drink more Austrian Riesling on this level. A very precise medium-bodied stunner with generous fruit cradled in remarkable acidity.
