Anyone ever tried the R. Branger et Fils Manoir de la Greliere VV Reserve Muscadet?

I just got a bottle as a gift.

You know, we're really spoiled when it comes to Muscadet.

Damning the Branger with strong praise for others?

Yes, but after deciding it wasn't worth drinking I went on to open a very nice 2006 Mt. Eden Vineyards Chardonnay. Much better.

Who imported?

So many better wines just in the B's: Bossard, Brgeon, C. Branger....

A friend of mine at work who was visiting France and had asked me to save the NY Times for her and her husband while they were away. She knows I like wine and so very kindly gave this somewhat misdirected present.

So it's a duty-free shop purchase in all likelihood?

They were visiting the Loire (and I think just discovered Muscadet on this trip) so it was most likely a winery purchase. But I obviously can't say for certain, it could be a duty free shop purchase in which case it's likely heat damaged.
