About This Wine:
This vintage claims to be "Classic"� purely to set itself apart from the tendancy to promote wines whose aromas have their origin neither in the variety of grape nor in the locality...This Muscadet is developed and vinified to be appreciated young "on the fruit"�. It is crystal clear and the color of yellow straw. Lime, grapefruit, white fruits, pear and apple, salty and citrus notes are generously present on the nose.
The mouth is rich, straight, providing a beautiful acid screen; lime and soft notes of the sea provide a good balance and a great freshness in this Muscadet, superb landmarks which stretch to the end....
Pairings:
This Muscadet would be a good accompaniment to a seafood platter, an oily fish, a white meat or would, of course, be the ideal companion to your aperitif.
Vinification:
Hand harvested. No pumps, no racking of the must. Pneumatic pressing. 100% natural yeast fermentation. Aged on the lees in underground vats covered with glass tiles for 14 months.
Appellation: Muscadet de Sevre et Maine sur lie
Varietal: 100% Melon de Bourgogne
Age of vines: 30-35 years

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2018 Vintage):
"From a vineyard that has been biodynamic since 1998, this is a ripe, fruit-driven and pure wine. Its acidity, apple and citrus flavors and touch of minerality give both freshness and good texture. Drink the wine now. Roger Voss" - (10/1/2019)
90 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine (2018 Vintage):
"Charming, with a generous profile, exhibiting notes of pear, accented by hints of white pepper and coriander. A salty detail lingers on the persistent, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2023. 3,000 cases made, 500 cases imported." - AZ
