Pale to medium lemon color. Medium nose of limes, sea air and grapefruit. In the mouth its quite round and flavorful with notes mirroring the nose. Very good acidity and a medium length finish. A great buy.

Equivalent experience to last tasting. Nice acid and cream; very refreshing. More lemon than lime on the palate this time. 88+ pts.

This is really beautiful with pan seared scallops! See my previous note for a TN. Had to bump this a point from before. Gorgeous. Drank the last of the bottle tonight, still showing well. I need to give this a 90. Wonderful wine!

2007 vintage

TN similar to last time, but performed better on the palate, more presence with a good cut of acidity.

This is more earthy than fruity; it has a chalky, ocean water bouquet with undertones of sliced pear and grapefruit. The nose is nice and crisp. The palate is very saline and chalk / slate driven with a touch of golden apple and zesty lemon. Medium finish.

Light lemon with greenish tinge. Bright nose of tart green apple peel and lime juice. Light bodied with good acidity but a touch hard on the palate.

2007 vintage

Color pale straw. Nose of pears, green apple, ocean air. Nice crisp acidity, salty sweet. Not much fruit on the palate, but other notes which I can't place do seem to make this wine work.

2007 vintage

Pale straw color. Sweet nose of pears and tinge of sea salt and green apple. Muted fruit, but nice acidity and decent finish. This is not a showstopper, but a solid wine and spectacular if you consider the price point.

drank with my mom at le saigon restaurant. light straw colored in the glass with low viscosity. the nose shows lemon zest, ruby red grapefruit, limestone and sea salt. its crisp but its got the creaminess from the lees to balance it out. on the palate i get freshly sliced granny smith apples, lemons, slate and minerals with a clean finish. nuanced wine that went really well with vietnamese chicken and shrimp rice paper rolls with lettuce, carrots and a …

Muted flavors, crisp acidity, very enjoyable. Understated tones of pear and a very slight citrus. I am more of a red wine drinker but really enjoyed this wine. First white wine I enjoyed more than my wife. She did like the crisp acidity but thought the flavors were too suppressed for her taste. Reminded her of flat champagne.

Fresh, clean nose. Ocean air. Acidity tingles on the tongue. Orchard fruit, possibly white apricots and pears on the palate. Cleansing minerality on the mid-palate. Maybe also some clean slate.Fruit reappears on the mid-length finish. This leaves a sweet taste on the lips. Some have called this simple or thin, but for me it is focused and nuanced. Lovely.

Pefectly fresh, green fruits, with good acidity. Drank at the beach. Perfect match.

2007 vintage

Crisp green apple, some floral. Good acidity and mouth feel. Would buy again.

2007 vintage

Didn't do much for me on a pop and pour. Intresting nose with green apple and floral notes but a bit bitter on the finish. Had 2/3rds of the bottle before bed. MUCH more interesting the next morning. Bitterness was gone, replaced with honey and almost cheese notes. Improved from mid 80s to high 80s after some time to breathe. Solid QPR

Light straw color. Good nose with clear acid. Lemon/lime, little pineapple, chopped up Golden Delicious apple. Obvious seafood pairing (wish I had thought of this with last night's grilled shrimp) but I would also think Greek would work well. $13 is a little on the pricey end for Muscadet. Good but not enough to make me want to come back for more.

2007 vintage

Not much there for me. The acid is fine and there is no heat, but pretty thin flavor for me.

2007 vintage

Good acidity, with apple and tropical notes. As I find with most muscadet, it gets much more interesting and exciting when had with compatible foods.

2007 vintage

Quick pour into decanter, 15-min in frig, then tasting only slightly chilled. Pasty, off-pastel-yellow in color. Delightful nose here. Something like an orange dessert concoction with nuggets and a little yogurt white chocolate cream; spritzed lime, mineral, Light and sprightly on the palate; dancing zing of acid; lime juice and apple flavors picking up intensity down the center-line mid-palate and through the refreshing finish. Really tasty stuff. She says barf -- crazy I think. 88-89 pts.

2007 vintage

Light straw color, very clear. Smell is tropical and talc powderish. Pear, green apple, tropical flavors on finish, pineapple. Nice acidity and overall balance. Finish is moderate. Great wine for $12.

2007 vintage

Very very dry white. It contained enough fruit to balance and reveal it's hidden agenda... getting you to come back for another sip.

2007 vintage

Wonderful nose of peach, pear, and pear blossom. Excellent acidity and minerals on the palette. Great pairing with fin fish.

2007 vintage

Highly aromatic and sweet on the nose. The palate is bursting with acidity. No heat whatsoever. Very refreshing and awesome to drink by itself or with food. I love this wine.

2007 vintage

The Wine Advocate review nails it for me. Aromatically complex and intriguing, orchard fruit, floral notes and serious minerality on the nose. Nice subtle spritz, love the acidity and minerality on the palate, surprisingly oily finish. Wow, for me this wine is very enjoyable, totally happy at $13.

2007 vintage

Very simple wine. Maybe just what you want, but not very interesting.

2007 vintage

Are you sure?
