"Haute Expression du Cru
" Goulaine 2018 is a worthy ambassador for Muscadet's grand crus communaux. With superb saline intensity, it blends powerful fatness with a finely bitter, almost salty finish. In great shape, it will evolve peacefully over the coming decades". (Le Guide RVF 2023) Open early in the decanter to allow the full potential of the fruit to express itself.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domain rated (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Two years of ageing, including a spell in barrel, shape this exotic white, open to ripe fruit, rich, full-bodied, with good presence on the palate and a sapid finish. Ideal with grilled turbot.
About the domain :
The estate is located on the site of an ancient medieval mansion that was the origin of the commune of La Chapelle-Heulin. Rémi and Jean-Jacques Bonnet have been running this 40-hectare estate organically since 2005, and are now moving towards biodynamic viticulture.

About the wine:
Goulaine 2018 is a worthy ambassador for the grand crus communaux of Muscadet. With superb saline intensity, it combines powerful fatness with a finely bitter, almost salty finish. In great shape, it will evolve peacefully over the coming decades.
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!
