2020 vintage. One of the 3 Muscadet estates owned by Castel, and another very successful 2020. The light yellow colour seems a bit more evolved compared to Hyvernière and Clos d'orfeuilles. White peach and a touch of iodine. Round and fresh, with maybe a few grammes of residual sugar, balanced by the mouthwatering acidity and the typical Muscadet saltiness in the finish. More than decent length. Incredible value. Abv.12%. — 5 days ago

Deliciously drinkable bubbles. While there is a bit of sweetness as a demi sec, there is still a crispness and minerality that balances it out. — 4 years ago

Really nice, and inexpensive to boot! Maybe 10-euro. Floral, waxy, pear, bright apple and a good amount of lees contact and great acid. The fruit and toasted notes are great. I’m a fan. — 3 years ago

2024 vintage. Castel owns 3 Muscadet estates, and Clos des Orfeuilles is their flagship ( the others being Château de l'Hyvernière and Château de la Botinière), and also the smallest of the 3 estates (18,5 hectares, organically farmed). Given the e diverse soil types, all parcels are vinified separately, and blended later. There are a lot of exciting wines coming from Muscadet these days, and there is a lot to say for them, in a period where many consumers are looking for low alcohol wines. With only 11% abv., the Clos d'Orfeuilles 2024 is a gorgeous, crisp and mineral Muscadet with intensity and saline length. Moreover it represents incredible value for money. Hard to resist now, but should also age well. — 3 months ago
