Outstanding producer and another 2022 that doesn’t disappoint.

Beautiful viscosity, lush, heather honey, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, white stone fruit, tropical melons, saline/sea spray, white spice, moist, chalky powder, limestone, butterscotch toffee, caramel, excellent acidity and round, lush, very balanced, elegant finish that last two-minutes and lands on spice and soft minerality.

Worth every bit of the $49 I paid and then some.

At 10.5% abv, this is both thirst-quenching and austere, with the Chenin providing just enough ripeness of fruit to bring things into balance. 750 mL will be easily finished by one person, so unless you’re drinking alone, buy at least two bottles — a month ago

First time drinking red (pinot) from this producer who’s Burgundy’s reference for withes. Very enjoyable, a bit of punch, earthy, not just fruit, a bit spicyness,, good combination with roe deer — a month ago

This lovely Muscadet “Briords” has held up well, more honeyed and less acid than 8-10 years ago, but drinking very well tonight, lingering finish. — 3 days ago

I see Raspberries and some cherries but not plums as noted on the back of the bottle. Quite harsh. Compared to the Renaissance from Oregon from Jadot - so essentially the same conglomerate on two continents - this is much more light weight and lacks real intensity and interest I would suggest drink up now - reasonable but not more. It was a gift. This will certainly not take cellar space. Softened over night so two more point for Gryffindor. — a month ago
