Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast
While the wine is rich and seriously textured, it has a pure fruitiness that is beguiling, ripe and full of green and citrus flavors. Spice and minerality give a strong sense of structure and ageability. Drink this firm wine from 2016.
— Domaine de l'Ecu 2013 Granite (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine) (93/100)
While it has lost its primary fruit, this wine has gained richness, toastiness and structure. Caramel and almond flavors stand out from the firm texture and the concentration. It is a complex wine that has weight and ripeness. Drink now.
— Bonnet-Huteau 2010 Goulaine Vieilles Vignes (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine) (93/100)
A parcel of 40-year-old vines, this is a full, ripe wine that balances a tangy texture with rich yellow fruits. There is a mineral background along with fine acidity. The wine is impressive, full both of fruit and structure. It is ready to drink, rich and concentrated.
— Bonnet-Huteau 2012 Goulaine (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine) (93/100)
Like all the wines from this domaine, this comes from biodynamically produced grapes. It is part of a series of wines named after the subsoil in which the vines are planted. The wine is tense, mineral and still young. It has a flinty character along with lemon and grapefruit fruit. There is a salty tang to this wine that really needs to age. Drink from late 2017.
— Domaine de l'Ecu 2014 Granite (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine) (93/100)
From the cru village of Château Thébaud, this wine with its five years of aging has reached a happy peak maturity. Perfumed and rounded, its fruit has changed into almonds and spice while keeping a strongly mineral texture. It is a fine wine that is ready to drink now.
