Domaine du Haut Bourg, Côtes de Grandlieu (Loire Valley, France) Muscadet “Origine” 2002

($16, Polaner Selections): Who says Muscadet doesn’t develop with age? This one is fresh, mineraly and mature all at the same time. Savory notes peek through, adding even more surprise and complexity. Despite all this, it retains the quintessential spark and vivacity of Muscadet. It’s an eye-opening wine that no wine lover should miss. 92 Michael Apstein Dec 11, 2012
