Pepiere Chateau Thebaud Sevre et Maine 2015 Magnum Muscadet

 1.5L  Last tasted in late July 2016 – more than a year ahead of its anticipated bottling – this delivers an unusually rich, polished palate impression while retaining vivacity and refreshment thanks to juicy ripe pear and fresh lime. The mineral and animal dimensions – anticipated on the nose – suggest sea breeze and urchin roe, yielding a savor that positively milks the salivary glands. This is going to be fascinating to follow and likely to stand among the high points for Muscadet of its vintage. 92-93 Points  David Schildknecht, Vinous 100% Melon de Bourgogne.
