Pretty sure we tasted Guy Bossard’s 2009s in barrel in January of 2011, we were WAY late for our appointment that day (drove 90 minutes in the morning from our B&B near Chinon, started at Luneau-Papin, then lunch (which took seemingly forever), which in turn made us late for our visit to Marc Ollivier at Domaine de La Pepiere. After a great (albeit long) visit with Marc, he was then kind enough to call Guy for us to tell him the 3 idiot Americans who were his 4:00 pm appointment would hopefully make it by 5:00-5:30 pm. Guy was nothing if forgiving and gracious, he had a young Dutch gentleman there when we arrived, Fred Niger, who we found out later was in negotiations to buy Domaine de l’Ecu from Guy, which DID happen (and Fred and his wife still own the estate). Domaine de l’Ecu had already been biodynamic for some time (and remains so), and was maybe the first of the Muscadet producers to do so (???). This wine, the top end Granite cuvée, is still quite alive, but it’s time to drink up. Fun times wine tasting in Muscadet in January of 2011!!! — a month ago

Lemon and honey, stony minerality, great acid and depth on the palate, even at age 16 this has lots of life left in it (5-10 more years), very long, lingering finish, great Muscadet!! — a year ago

Beautiful young muscadet—perfect with Sunday night dinner cop out sushi order. Definitely needs a decant. Creamy grapefruit, lime, mint, white peach, stony. Forward and generous — 5 years ago

Ridiculous value and, while delicious, should ideally age another 5-10 years or more — 10 months ago

Aged Muscadet. More complex than expected. Citrus, white fruit on a intense frame of acid and minerals. Refreshing and perfect pairing with pan sautéed halibut. — 4 years ago

vintage 2021 | Top notch Muscadet from Cru Goulaine. Preserved lemon. Minerality. Personality in taste, nice bitters. Paired with oysters, sea bass. Very nice. At brasserie van Baerle. Lunch in the garden = + 0.1. — 3 months ago

Vintage 2018 | Owh, this is good wine, said my wife. She is a great taster without knowing it. We drank this lovely Muscadet with a veal oyster on day one and a duckpate on nut bread on day two. The wine adapts effortlessly. — 8 months ago

Je suis un fan de muscadet. Pas de ces versions acides et étriquées à vous détartrer ce qu’il vous reste d’émail aux dents, non. Plutôt de ces envolées fluides, légères, agiles et admirablement tracées livrées par un melon de bourgogne traité aux petits oignons. À celui-ci s’ajoutent texture saline et densité qui allonge la finale. Top ! — 5 years ago
