Lots of lees presence here. Medium weight with a lot of lemon/citrus, toasted marshmallow mixed with some honey butter. The citrus notes really bring out the freshness. Lots of yum.

Great producer in Muscadet, where this wine will soon become a Cru designated bottling. Very high mineratility with a sort of nectarine like fruit in the background.

Great bottle showing its age well. Preserved lemon, ripe melon, marshmallow, apple blossoms, hazelnut, damp earth, oyster shell, minerals, tea leaf. There's a caramelized honey element to the wine. Acidity is still fresh and vibrant. Great example of Muscadet with age. Similar aromas and flavors of aged chablis/BdB Champagne

Rounded out from the lees while still having very nice acid. Another great value wine from Loire.

MAGNUM. Lovely Muscadet, saline and mineral notes, nice acid, nice depth, close to mature, but drinking well, should be excellent with our wild Mexican white prawns and mussels!!

Aged MdB--so good. Like preserved lemon in a bottle: briny, slightly funky, lemony goodness.
