Muscadet doesn't ask for time—it asks to be drunk young and fresh. Then came Haut Bourg. The Choblet brothers, a fourth-generation family working these vineyards since 1944, age their Melon de Bourgogne sur lie for years on end, completely upending what this wine can be. The 2015 is now eleven years old: waxy citrus, guava, saline minerality, wet stone. It challenges everything you think you know about Muscadet, proving that patience and limestone-rich terroir can create something layered and profound from this humble Loire grape.

Professional Reviews

Wine Spectator

WS 90

"Youthful, silky and streaming in feel, with toasted nuttiness overlaying a fresh core of persimmon, quince and honey water, plus lashes of brine and salt. Tangy and delicious, showing impressive mineral intensity."

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
