2018 vintage. Another great Muscadet from a pioneer in organic farming (and biodynamical since 2014). Brilliant light yellow. A bit timid in the nose with green apple, grapefruit and mineral notes. Bright juicy citrus fruit, mouth-watering acidity and salty minerality. Impression of residual sugar in the persistent finish. A bit more bottle age will make this shine even more.

Okay Peeps I know what I said...exception it's my Birthday! My last year as a 50..something!
Treating myself to two glasses (my weekend to work)!
I am really enjoying this Muscadet made with organic grapes! Presents with wonderful Asian pear, apricots, loads of apples, wet gravel...the body has a wonderful salinity, the finish on this keeps on giving! 12% Alc. makes me happy!

Purchased @backroomwines this is a delicious bottle of wine. Great fruit highlighted by the texture from the soil.

Rounder and fuller than their Orthogneiss. Melon, citrus and yellow & white florals on the nose. It's crisp and clean. Ripe green apple, green melon with rhine, lemon/lime juice, grapefruit with a touch of sugar. The granite minerality pulls on the plate during the long finish with big acidity and an enjoyable finish.

Very good. Funky-salty cheese rind, with a twist of citrus and beautiful acidity to tie it all together.
