Straw colour. Nose of nuts, seaweed and green floral high notes. Tight and acidic wine with mature and complex nutty character and fine floral notes. Good length. Very good and mature Muscadet which needed an hour in a decenter to show the fruit.

Straw colour. Light hints of seaweed, sur lie-notes and citrus on the nose. Clear and quite citrusy Muscadet in the mouth. Sur lie-notes shining through. The fruit seems to have faded. Acidic balance. Nice enough, but this is loosing the fruit and is fading. Drink up now.
