I drink a fair amount of Muscadets in the hot weather. Good ones are crisp, refreshing, bone dry, with loads of mouthwatering crisp fruit and razor-sharp, clean stony minerality. This one was excellent -- slightly riper and fuller than typical, but still very much identifiably Muscadet.Light, bright silvery-gold color. Intensely chalky, lime and green apple nose. Crisp, tart apply fruit attacks the palate. Extraordinarily pure stony minerality. Excellent fruit and acids too. Very lively. The texture actually displays some very light tannin -- very unusual for whites from this region, or any whites, actually. Clean, zesty, relatively long finish. B+/A-. Imported by Weygandt-Metzler. Can't remember where I got it or how much it costs. I'll look for a receipt and update if I can find it, but I know it wasn't more than $15 because I simply don't spend more than that for Muscadets.
