Les 'Gras Moutons' (fat sheep) is a wonderful name for a vineyard and for a wine. We're not sure if it was the winemakers intention, but you could argue that the wine has a touch of lanolin like character, adding to the wines gorgeous texture - not a characteristic we usually associate with Muscadet. More obvious however are the lovely citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit on the nose, which are backed with brined olives, smoke and biscuit. The palate is full bodied but with a lovely tangy fresh acidity and a beautiful minerality - more common of Melon de Bourgogne from Muscadet in the Loire Valley. The balance here between pleasant bitterness and roundness is perfect and the finish is just superb. Not dissimilar to outstanding Chablis and has legs to age beautifully for a few years yet. Outstanding value for a wine of such complexity. Enjoy with Oysters or Mussels. Thank us later.
