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

Showing so beautiful at the moment. Great mouthfeel because of the aging 'sur lie', fantastic minerality & an expression of beeswax because of the age. Great companion of a raw preparation of mackerel. Organic producer since thirty years, biodynamic since 1990. Great reference of Melon de Bourgogne.

Minerals, green apples and a little gunsmoke

Love. Lemon/lime custard, rich with snappy acidity. Long finish. Wonderful with steamed ahi.

Best of the day for me. I love this man.

#2002 aromatique puissante, fraîcheur en bouche, précis, droit. Grand.

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!!

Nice minerality, subdued lemon, a hint of oyster like salinity and more body than you’d expect from a Muscadet.

Heavier and seeming more evolved than the great 2010 Orthogneiss, instead of the lovely honey notes this shows mature notes, still very good acidity, but seems ready to drink, very good. As a minor sidebar, I had the same experience 3 months ago when I compared the 2009s of each, that is, the “lesser regarded” Orthogneiss outperformed the Granite, not sure why??

This is surprisingly more oxidized and seemingly older and more evolved than the 2009 Bossard “Orthogneiss” Muscadet opened earlier, bottle variation, I suppose??
