"Haute Expression du Cru
"It shows the potential of well-born Muscadets, with beautiful finesse of texture but in a style a little too restrained to reveal the fruit's brilliance perfectly." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) Open early in the decanter to let the full potential of the fruit express itself.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 91/100
Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
It shows the potential of well-born muscadets, with a fine texture but a style that's a little too restrained to reveal the full brilliance of the fruit.
About the domain :
The Bonnet brothers, Jean-Jacques and Rémi, heirs to the family estate in La Chapelle-Heulin, converted their 40 hectares of vines to organic farming in 2005. Four terroirs have been vinified separately to bring out their finest expression. On Les Dabinières, a warm soil of gneiss and micaschist, the fruit expresses itself with roundness. On the amphibolite and micaschist soils of Les Gautronnières, the melon becomes mineral and taut. The poor, granitic soils of Les Laures produce a denser, fuller wine. Made only in good years and aged for 18 months on the lees (minimum requirement), Cru Communal Goulaine reveals its full depth and seems well equipped for ageing. Cuvées full of energy and sparkle!
