Very light gold color. Great nose of lively lemon-lime and green apple fruit, along with a lightly earthy, creamed stone emulsion. Bone dry yet soft, ripe yet crisp, refreshing yet a little earthy, this wine nicely summed up the best of Muscadet. Clean, cleansing finish. Me likey. 88. Imported by Glazer's Wholesale, Dallas. Was $13.49 at Central Market several months ago, so I'm not sure if they still have it.
2006 Chateau du Poytet MUSCADET DE SEVRE ET MAINE SUR LIE (Loire, France)
A textbook example of Muscadet, and it also showed that well-made Muscadet can take a little bottle age nicely.
