Château du Coing de Saint-Fiacre 2002 L’Ancestrale Melon (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine)

Price $21

Low yields, old vines and 2 years’ lees aging are the basis of this concentrated wine. It is rich, full, very intense, but doesn’t lose sight of strong minerality. Certainly a wine for aging, this is only just beginning its ripe development. — R.V. (11/15/2008)

Château du Coing de Saint-Fiacre 1997 Comte de Saint-Hubert Melon (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine)

Price $25

You need to be a believer to enjoy an 11-year old Muscadet. Yet, curiously, unexpectedly, it works, because the initial richness of the wine, produced from 70-year-old vines, has become so well integrated, and the tropical fruit flavor has softened and come out with balance. With fish and a cream sauce this would work wonders. — R.V. (11/15/2008)

Best Buy

Price $10

A wine from a selected parcel of vines; attractive, crisply balanced, the fresh green fruits backed by yeasty toast and a creamy, full texture. There is also a layer of minerality that turns this into a fine food wine. — R.V. (11/15/2008)

Château du Coing de Saint-Fiacre 1999 Elevé en Fûts de Chêne Neufs Melon (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine)

Price $30

The Chéreau family has long been proponents of wood-aging for some Muscadets. Also, so it appears, of long aging. The toasty aromas and flavors that still dominate the wine give it a Chardonnay feel, replacing the crispness of melon with a round creamy flavor. There is spice, but also some oxidation. — R.V. (11/15/2008)
