2018 vintage. This estate produces 6 different Muscadet, but apart from Melon de Bourgogne they cultivate 13 grape varieties. This "Esprit" is the upper middle range and I preferred it to their premium "Clisson" wine. Fresh citrusy nose with typical Muscadet minerality. Bright fruit, crisp and energetic with a nice salty minty length. Another delicious Muscadet. Abv. 12,5%. Nice as an aperitif, with seafood or some cheeses (try with Ossau Iraty).
