Still hooked on Muscadet!

[Bob Parsons Alberta]

TN: 2009 Muscadet Luneau-Papin Domaine Pierre de la Grange.

Third and last bottle, $22 Cdn, 12 % alc, good natural cork.

Usual high Luneau-Papin expectations. Light pale lemon, full aromatic nose with typical tones, minerals, sea-shells, apple, ,lemony/lime maybe. Classic!
Dry entry but some ripe fruit here. Crisp, refreshing just as zippy as before. Big depth, long finish, mineral, great acidity naturally. Held up well over 24 hrs, Musky does not get better than this.

Musky?

Haven't hooked a musky lately, Ian? You are in a good part of the country for it!

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

Aye, they swim in the same waters as the tender-fleshed bojo.

Do not forget the moose!

2009 Chereau-Carre Muscadet de Sevre-et-Maine Chateau l`Oiseliniere de la Ramee.

I have been drinking every vintage of the Ramee available here since the early `00s and never had a duff bottle.

Good natural cork, 12 % alc, $20 Cdn, served quite chilled, with baked cod and pan-fried prawns.

Color is a light lemon, nose had typique aromatics....crisp green apples, sea shore reminiscence, minerals, hint of gooseberry. Entry is dry, long finish, seemed to have some petillance without being to the forefront. Tart citrus, "very refreshing" from across the table. So-so acidity, medium plus finish. I would not keep bottle # 2 too long however, drink whilst at this stage.
