There's not a lot to say in some ways. This is a negociant wine. Pierre Bonnet, a negociant or broker, has bought wine from a number of smaller producers to blend together into this entry level wine.
Good value wines are often the result of hard times on someone's part. Nowhere is this more true than with Muscadet and the Pays Nantais. Here falling consumer demand, strong marketing of rival wines from the New World and some unfortunate scandals involving local merchants have driven the price down. Whilst too much of the wine is of mediocre or poor quality, even good quality producers are forced to sell their product cheaply.
Tasting NoteSurely a contender for one of the UK's greatest value wines. Does exactly what it promises. It tastes just like it should, of clean, lightly fruity Muscadet and delivers a very drinkable mouthful of light, zesty wine. No mucking around, no fuss, just honest party drinking and everyday fun.
