(at Decanter's June 2017 issue Muscadet with extended lees ageing Panel Tasting, 23 Feb 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2025
Stony, citrus aromas with the mildest hint of the lees. Palate confers a supple weight with notes of preserved lemon and apricot skin, with a pithy/bitter element supplying a grippy, forceful finish; shows potential.
