- VouvrayHead - 08-08-2009 I can't think of a better (or even as good) wine I've tasted for $20. Massive minerality with the austerity that goes along with that, balanced by a truly rich Champagne-like yeastiness (Marc Ollivier reportedly gave this wine more lees-time than is techinically allowed by the Sevre-et-Maine wine laws). It's feathery soft yet maintains a crystalline focus. I suspect it has decades to go in evolution. Majorly impressive wine. I'm getting a case. It's $20. Wow.

Do you know, by chance, who brings it in? - VouvrayHead - 08-08-2009 Louis/Dressner Looks like Polaner, also (maybe). - wondersofwine - 08-11-2009 I've been happy with the Pepiere Muscadet I've tried in the past. - VouvrayHead - 08-11-2009 If you see this one, try it. I like his other wines as well, but this is a very different bottle. |
