Belle-Vue Muscadet 'Granite Les Perrieres' 2020

"The jewel in the crown for Jerome, you can see in the image above the vineyard, it is a beautiful, isolated spot and you can see the care with which it is tended, literally no expense is spared. To counter frost, he has installed electric, thermal guiding wire at a cost of 200K euro per hectare. In addition, he has hired 4 full time staff to take care of the vineyards, all this extra cost has meant an increase in the price of the wines, as you will notice. Still, I feel as do the French press, that he is practically without peer in his region, thus on that basis his wines are priced quite fairly. Muscadet "Granit" is from granite soils and old vines planted in 1920; this produces very fine, very mineral wine; tight as a drum yet silken and sensual, it tastes of flint and flowers and is very inspired drinking. Next time one of your customers asks you about 'terroir' you could pour them a glass of this by way of explanation. This is one of the great Muscadet's available today and a special bottle that will keep for years if you have the patience. Really stunning."
