Slightly creamy, bone dry, intense, not complex but excellent with red snapper, crab, and baby bok choy.

It strikes me that, between Beaujolais and Muscadet, with a few esoterica like Clos Roche Blanche, you can dine extremely well on the liquid side while working within a completely reasonable budget.

Alright Fits. We can agree on that.

The 2005 has really surprised me with its recent development.

And yes, one can live rather well on PDC.
 
Opened a magnum a year and a half ago and it was tight as Miles's nun's *. Even out of 750, at this point, I would guess this wine has some development ahead of it, though I'm poorly versed in the nuances of aging Muscadet.

What's the point of buying in case quantities, though, if you don't open a few too early for learning purposes.

BTW, somebody (Astor?) has the regular Pepiere 2009 in magnum, if you're just looking for a festively large bottle of good Muscadet to drink now.
 
I liked 09 pepiere the most on day 3 this week, that's when the candied thing totally went to pure fruit, without giving up more than 3.14% in the minerality aspect

so given the closure, this kind of creates a dilemma
 
My mags are resting comfortably, though not as comfortably as they would be if they had a bottle of SFJoe's Vatan standing guard.
