2009 Pepiere Muscadet

[Matteo Mollo]

07 clisson from Ollivier is mind bendingly good (though i am sure that has been said to exhaustion).

mmm...24 months of lies...

I'd probably just be confused, which is my normal state.

I must admit that while the first bottling was a joy and a delight the second bottling is a wonder.

This being the fake cork version?

Yes. Otherwise I'd have no hesitation recommending holding it.

I understand there will be yet a third version with real cork.

That's good to hear, Jay, as I just snapped some up from CSW (along with '09 Briords and '07 Granite de Clisson). Now to the question of when they'll be able to ship it to me...

The second bottling has somewhat more of grace than the first bottling which had a greater degree of childlike joy as opposed to the more classic beauty of the second.

The '09 Briords on the other hand is pretty tightly wound at the moment (just poured). Hold it while drinking the Pepiere. Either one.

Or check back here in an hour after the wine has had some air.

An hour later ....

It's developed a very nice slatey-limey note but it's still IMO one to lay down for a bit to let it relax.

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

That makes perfect sense.

By the way, more or less related, I just finished the leftovers from a bottle of 2002 Luneau-Papin Excelsior. I'll try to write a proper note soon, but the main thing is, it drank very nicely. A year or two ago it was way young.
