2022 vintage. A bit rounder compared to Hyvernière. A very accessible solid Muscadet that sells for a song. Abv. 12,5%.

2019 vintage. Fully mature, but not over the hill like the 2018(probably because of the synthetic cork btw, good Muscadet ages incredibly well). The 3 Castel Muscadet estates all stand for amazing value. Lots of flavour, with little alcohol. Abv. 12%.

Vintage 2022 | Solid, much character. Glad I found it, @Stefan Dolhain Paired with mussels spaghetti

2020 vintage. One of the 3 Muscadet estates owned by Castel, and another very successful 2020. The light yellow colour seems a bit more evolved compared to Hyvernière and Clos d'orfeuilles. White peach and a touch of iodine. Round and fresh, with maybe a few grammes of residual sugar, balanced by the mouthwatering acidity and the typical Muscadet saltiness in the finish. More than decent length. Incredible value. Abv.12%.

Light, refreshing acidity. Grassy, citrusy, peppery, & slightly floral. This muscadet packs a punch! 🌿💪
