Domaine de l’Ecu 2006 Expression de Gneiss Melon (Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine)

Cellar Selection

Price $20

A rich, creamy, sumptuous wine, with an impressive, decisive shaft of minerality and a stony, dense character. The name of the wine, referring to the granite and schist soil, is one of an extraordinary series reflecting different soil types made by Muscadet’s top producer, Guy Bossard. — R.V. (9/1/2008)

Domaine de l’Ecu 2006 Expression de Orthogneiss Melon (Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine)

Price $24

From volcanic soil, this ripe, but tight style of Muscadet is one that needs aging. Even after two years, the acidity has not completely molded round the fresh grapefruit flavors. It’s lively, very crisp, demanding food. — R.V. (9/1/2008)

Domaine de l’Ecu 2006 Cuvée Classique Melon (Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine)

Best Buy

Price $15

Very dry, crisp, grapefruit and green apple flavors pile through this wine. There is some spice, hints of kiwi and a layer of apple skin tannins. All these intense flavors explode from the glass. — R.V. (9/1/2008)
