And, as Dale already mentioned, the '02 Clos des Noëlles Semper
Excelsior is no ordinary Muscadet. I had a bottle of this back in Feb,
and it is both richer and more precise than a typical Muscadet, a
remarkable achievement. In many ways, it bears a resemblance to a good
White Burg, though its flavor profile is of course distinct.
