Michel Delhommeau
Clos Armand Vieille Vigne Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne
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.

1 person found it helpfulJun 5th, 2015Great 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.

Dec 31st, 2021Aged MdB--so good. Like preserved lemon in a bottle: briny, slightly funky, lemony goodness.
