The wine shows elegant aromas of lemon peel, stone, ripe pear, almond, anise and honeysuckle. While it’s similar to Jo’s superb Fief du Breil, the palate shows more ripeness – quite round and full for a Muscadet, with sapid white fruits, citrus, anise and licorice, with terrific density backed by firm acidity. The finish is long and lovely with with bitter lemon, pear, anise and stone.
This is a superb Muscadet that should be opened well in advance or decanted if drinking now, or cellar five years then drink until 2035. Serve with fish in sauce, grilled lobster (!), veal, roast chicken and goat or sheep cheeses.
