Tasted by:
(at Decanter's June 2017 issue Muscadet with extended lees ageing Panel Tasting, 23 Feb 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2029
Wonderful complex floral and mineral freshness on the nose, full of intrigue evolved from extended lees contact. The palate showcases a broad and rich concentration of fruit complemented by an appealing salty-mineral streak. Another example of the benefits of long lees ageing, with freshness still in evidence on the finish.
