With its fine concentration and light acidity, this scores with its lovely apple fruit, touched with grapefruit. Very fresh, ready to drink.

You need to be a believer to enjoy an 11-year old Muscadet. Yet, curiously, unexpectedly, it works, because the initial richness of the wine, produced from 70-year-old vines, has become so well integrated, and the tropical fruit flavor has softened and come out with balance. With fish and a cream sauce this would work wonders.

Low yields, old vines and 2 years’ lees aging are the basis of this concentrated wine. It is rich, full, very intense, but doesn’t lose sight of strong minerality. Certainly a wine for aging, this is only just beginning its ripe development.

The Chéreau family has long been proponents of wood-aging for some Muscadets. Also, so it appears, of long aging. The toasty aromas and flavors that still dominate the wine give it a Chardonnay feel, replacing the crispness of melon with a round creamy flavor. There is spice, but also some oxidation.

With attractive maturity, touches of lemon, pear and pink grapefruit and a ripe finish, this wine proves the aging potential of top Muscadet.

Very soft, rounded wine, which shows red apple flesh, an attractive creamy texture and light, pear aftertaste. The acidity is discreet.

A wine from a selected parcel of vines; attractive, crisply balanced, the fresh green fruits backed by yeasty toast and a creamy, full texture. There is also a layer of minerality that turns this into a fine food wine.

Chardonnay grown at the mouth of the Loire is as crisp and green as you would expect. This unoaked wine has touches of pear and definite citrus, very fresh and light.

An intensely fresh wine, touched lightly by spritz that brings out the lemon character. The acidity lifts the whole wine deliciously.
