"This wine is a caress in a glass. Golden in hue, the wine has a smile-inducing nose of warm orchard fruit including yellow apple and sun-warmed pear followed by dried honeysuckle petals. The palate is rich and creamy with hints of ginger and toasted slivered almonds. The beautiful wine demands reflection." *Editor's Choice*

"Lastly, the 2019 Muscadet Goulaine (100% Melon) comes from the Goulaine lieu-dit and was brought up in a mix of glass vats and French oak. It's another terrific wine from this estate offering notable purity, balance, and length. Stone fruits, dried herbs, blanched almonds, and a kiss of chalky minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a layered mouthfeel and a great finish. It's aging gracefully and should have another 7-8 years, if not longer, of prime drinking. It's going to shine on the dinner table and is well worth seeking out."
