Rich full mouth feel. With the creaminess from the lees, could almost mistake it for a Chablis if it weren't for the acidity

Some lemon and sea breeze on the nose. Citrus and minerals in a bone dry wind with great acidity. This was spot on with my seafood paella.

Been holding this for years. It’s lost the muscadet flint and lime. It’s a beautifully rounded tastes of melon and apple.

I maybe waited too long. Some crystals at bottom. I let it air out a bit but it was really clean and crisp. From melon de Bourgogne grape and maybe that grape name played tricks on my mind but I tasted some hints of melon actually. That was the most obvious hint. It tastes different straight out of refrigerator than it does 30 minutes later once it warms up a bit.

7-years is a charm! Lemon, lees, crushed sea shells, and bursting with minerality.

This2009 vintage, presents with a pale gold in color and chalky and mineral the Aromatics. The wine is well-balanced and has very nice hefty to the mid-palate. The acid it is not as gripping as I would've expected nor is the wine as lean, very nicely made
