I share your view. The fact is that the Grand Cru Muscadets is not but one
attempt to charge a higher price for the wine. Since the wine is good, the
wine deserve the price it fetches. I do not think they are easy to sell,
specially in France, where the "Muscadet" brand is associated with cheap
wine and not specially good. More like "supermarket wine". But you knew
that since you live there.

However, I have had an interest in wine for about 10 years and in the
process, there are wines that have gone beyond my reach. Whenever this
happens, another unknown region or grower shows up making great wines at
the right prices. If Muscadet goes out of reach, good for the people that
gets up at 5am to prune in february. And just move to the next great wine
in the queue.
