What a wine! Really so different than the excellence achieved at Luneau-Papin and the Domaine de la Pepiere. This tastes like an oyster. The fleshy part. Not the shell as most Muscadet taste like. This wine has an incredible creamy, rich, almost white burgundian-like texture while really emanating the salty, sweet thing of a great oyster. Long and palate staining with the expected high acidity. This has years to go needed around an hour to open up. Comes from a unique soil-composition that is heavy on slate. Really impressive wine.
My experience has always been good, maybe very good, but not great. I think I’ve had 02/04/05, but not 00 or anything more recent.
Nice avatar Lyle.
This sounds great. The regular bottle of 07 I had from this producer recently was one of my worst experiences with a Muscadet. Came off like a New World experiment blending Chard and Sauv Blanc.
Yes it is a great avatar!
But on to Muscadet. I have not ever had Bregeon’s regular bottling so cannot comment but the Bregeon I have had and not liked in the past either was the '96 Georgis which I thought was innocuous.
Lyle,
Thanks for posting on this, sounds like a really interesting wine.
Cheers,
