"Du Pep's!"
This friendly, refreshing wine will seduce you with its expressive nose of white fruit, apple, pear and a touch of aniseed. Unusually greedy for a Muscadet, the palate is tasty, with a pleasant fruity roundness and a nice fatness.

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
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. Only made in good years and aged for 18 months on the lees (minimum requirement), Cru Communal Goulaine reveals its depth and seems well equipped for ageing. Cuvées full of energy and sparkle!

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 02/01/2024
A somewhat disconcerting profile for a Muscadet, where the fruit is round and supple, the antithesis of the straightforward, uncluttered style. Citrus fruits are released and irrigate the palate with a dense, ample texture. Brief finish with a touch of mineral and citrus vivacity that lends tension and energy. Seems well equipped for cellaring. A pleasant, refreshing wine to be enjoyed as an aperitif with fried smelts, or with a meal of sea bass with fennel and lemon. Score = 3.7.
