Gorgeous wet stone minerality, this wine has freshness and opulence and more tension than the Fonréaud Le Cygne, made by the same team. Ageing in 45% new oak, all nicely integrated, I wonder if - in the long run - La Mouette will outlast or outperform Le Cygne. For now, both whites are excellent for different reasons. La Mouette comes across more like a Premier Cru Chablis, while Le Cygne is closer to a Meursault style, if you like Burgundy comparisons.
