Moussé is known for its Pinot Meunier yet this is 100% Chardonnay from a vineyard that was not well suited for Meunier due to the particularly deep soil. I found this to be a delight with lemon-lime citrus of tremendous precision. Minerals like it was San Pellegrino and a long finish. More chiseled than rich. So refreshing.

Wow! this is a purest form of saint Joseph. Absolutely delicious with clean silky tannin finish. Deep in colour with lively ripe black berry explosion in the mouth. Hints of leather and lime stone on the nose...ready to drink. Guigal delivers, but now I can’t wait to try the epic 2015. — 6 years ago
Deep red cherry with earthy finish. Classic Loire/cab franc. Excellent on opening. — 7 years ago
Darker and deeper than a typical Fleurie. Dark cherry and spicey mineral notes. Really fresh and easy going. — 9 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 ! — 3 years ago
Shimmering magenta. Expressive red/blue fruit and licorice aromas show excellent clarity and pick up mineral and exotic spice flourishes as the wine opens up. Broad and fleshy on entry, offers concentrated boysenberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors that tighten up and become sweeter with air. The blue floral note carries strongly through an impressively long, focused finish that's shaped by smooth, harmonious tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2019) — 5 years ago

My first Demi-Sev 1938 from a pristine bottle. No significant RS left in the structure but you could see how important the sugar was to carry on until today incredible aromatics. Still very concentrated and powerful. The second vintage of Gaston Huet at the end of the estate making the wines. — 7 years ago
