TN: "High end" Muscadet :)

As I am also not financially involved, I will also express my support of L-P wines. I am more of an L d'Or fancier, but remain open minded.

Only partially. The "Excelsior" line consisted originally of a Clos du Poyet and a Clos de Noelles chez L-P. The first has been discontinued, the second has not.

At the same time, Pierre-Marie L-P has released his first wine: Pueri Solis which is not in the Excelsior line but is made in the same manner: 40 months on the lees, and it starts with the 2005 vintage.

Right, that's what I meant. Couldn't bring Poyet to mind.

This is the rather Australian looking label we saw, right? Did we taste an early sample, do you recall? (40 months on the lees, wow, from anyone else this would seem insanity, but these guys seem to have perfected these sorts of processes.)

Hey Mark,

Actually the L d'Or and Pierre Granges are usually what I buy, but the Gros Plante was such an amazing QPR, and honestly, at only 54 EU a case, why resist? :)

Adele was going to make a kir with the G-P tonight, but thought better of it thank goodness!

Boff. Public mental glitch. Should be 42.

I don't think so. Not on my notes. But I was given a bottle which I tasted last month and liked. Even if I a prefer wines from the colder 2004 vintage to those from the hot 2005.

(40 months on the lees, wow,

So true. Do not think there is place in the world where they master work with lees as in Muscadet (perhaps Champagne?).

Best,
