“It’s spring and the little goat-footed balloonMan whistles far and wee.” - ee cummings. Far and wee indeed, with crisp saline citrus brightness mellowing with age (this is 2018 vintage). This ain’t your mama’s Muscadet, but Melon de Bourgogne it is, indeed and quite ready to embrace your oysters if you care to share. But there’s also some luxurious lemon curd coming into play here that pleases the balloonMan.

Fantastic stone fruit with hyper focused lemon/lime/stony acidity that lasts. Very rounded feel in the mouth A bit more fruit than a lot of Muscadet, but just as zippy.
