2022 is expressive & rich, it is is a solar vintage. Denis is a genericMuscadet, the aoc cancelled the "sur lie" appellation for genericmuscadet. Guillaume includes his less qualitative parcels and alsodeclassifies some of his Sèvre & Maine parcels to make this wine.Most of these vines are planted on granite, with quite a lot of topsoil.Long & slow press, the must is oxidized under the press (it's like avaccine for the future wine, allowing it to have a good resistance tooxygen in the future), 48 hours at cold temperatures for clarificationand then spontaneous fermentation & aging in concreteunderground tanks. 2gr of added sulfur right after the fermentationwas completed in Oct/Nov because Guillaume & Adèle were seeingVA increase. bottled in April 2023. On the nose plum, quince,brioche (think chardonnay), lemon tart on the palate with a saline &mineral finish.
