About the wine:
A Muscadet just the way we like it! This young, floral, fruity and acidic wine is immediately seductive with its balanced, consistent and complete profile. A very likeable white, with great freshness and persistence, it offers a faultless performance with real ease on the palate. At this price level, it's unquestionably one of the vintage's finest successes.
About the domain :
Saint-Julien-de-Concelles overlooks the Loire Valley and the market-gardening lands where lily of the valley and Nantaise lamb's lettuce are grown. The Pétard family has been growing vines here since the 19th century, on hillsides with mica-schist soils. Vincent Pétard joined his parents in 2004. Ten years later, after their retirement, he joined forces with his childhood friend Christophe Bazile. Together, they farm 25 ha, a third of which is in organic conversion.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 19/12/2024
The drought of 2023 has some pleasant surprises in store, such as this Alouette, which comes at a low price and has a lot going for it. The wine remains fresh and as light as the little bird. The ample, long and slender palate is conquered by tasty white fruit flavors and floral notes enhanced by a zest of lemon. The whole is well-balanced, with no aggressive acidity or bitterness, but rather finesse and roundness, with a superb liveliness on the finish. It's an ideal accompaniment to pike with beurre blanc from Nantes, or more simply to filet of sole meunière with steamed potatoes. Score ÷ 4.2.

Note and review by M. FREDERIC B. Published on 16/12/2024
This Muscadet has a sunny color. The nose is complex, with floral touches. The palate is very rich and full-bodied. It would be better served with river fish with beurre blanc than a seafood platter.
