Jul 19th, 2017Showing major exuberance and huge aromatics, despite age and a full decade on the lees. Acidity is super well balanced, with lower than average salinity for Muscadet. Love it.

Apr 20th, 2017Still a solid Muscadet but my least favourite of a long night!! Too rich and too full for a muscadet

Feb 18th, 2017Very well balanced... great body.. not too aromatic, not too acidic, fresh although aged for 10 years... I think time gives it that nice smooth body and takes away all those young aromas and acidity.. the finish is just fantastic.. long and just balanced... goes well with a creamy pasta sauce or mushrooms
