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

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

Château du Coing de Saint-Fiacre 2006 Coing de Sèvre Melon (Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine)
- Best Buy
- $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.

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

- Best Buy
- $12
Very soft, rounded wine, which shows red apple flesh, an attractive creamy texture and light, pear aftertaste. The acidity is discreet.

Château du Coing de Saint-Fiacre 2009 Coing de Sèvre sur lie Melon (Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine)

An intensely fresh wine, touched lightly by spritz that brings out the lemon character. The acidity lifts the whole wine deliciously.
