2009 Michel Delhommeau Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie 'Cuvee Harmonie'

Source: Zachys

Consumption Date: 1/27/2012

Notes: Very pale yellow (nearly clear).  Mild aroma of flowers, wet chalk, and white grape, with a hint of grassiness and sea air.  Crisp and light bodied with mild fruit and wet stone minerality that evolves into a slightly musky ripe fruit note with a mild herb/spice note.  Moderate finish of lemony fruit and minerals.

This is what I would expect from a Muscadet (mild fruit/crisp acidity), although with more minerality than I would have expected and a pleasing, if subtle, complexity.  A very nice effort and consequently a very good value.
