"Haute Expression du Cru
Expressive and full-bodied, after 24 months ageing on lees, this wine is a worthy representative of the "Goulaine" cru, one of the seven communal Muscadet appellations. Full-bodied on the palate, with plenty of fruit and a long, saline finish. A fine bottle to wait for, or open early in the decanter to let the fruit's full potential express itself. A great Muscadet!

Rated (guide 2024) 90/100 (Vintage 2019)
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 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!
