1.5L. Talk about a great summer poolside wine! Squishy fruit (think overripe starfruit & pineapple) but great acid...which gives it the lift it needs otherwise it would be flabby. A touch autolytic. Quaffable. Get after it!!

A nice very bright Muscadet. Green apple, citrus. Mineral/saline/shell. Just a touch of effervescence.

A few years ago before a short trip to Nantes, @Peter van den Besselaar pointed me in the direction of this producer of Muscadet. “Put it in your cellar and forget about it!” he said. I bought 6 bottles of each of the single “vineyards” varieties (they are called different there) and the only thing is….. it should have been 12 or 18 or….. what a fantastic wines they produce, mineral, acid, full bodied. And the PQR is outstanding. They go (as Muscadet should) with fruits de mer, with steamed mussels or simply alone!
