94 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Clos des Bouquinardières, matured only in tanks, has a well-defined bouquet with aromas of butter, pear, verbena and crushed stones combined with a smoky, gently reduced character. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tensile, it's seamless and layered with a delicate, saline and citrussy finish. It’s a total gem but needs cellaring to come fully into focus. Drink: 2023-2030. (Aug 2023)"
Jérôme Bretaudeau of Domaine de Belle-Vue is one of the leading lights in the most western region of the Loire Valley, Muscadet producing natural wines with precision that are consistently good, year after year. These are some very serious wines from old vine, yet they dance with freshness. Beautifully fine, with silky texture and saline minerality. Tight as a drum, so sensual, so fresh, so pure. Just add oysters.
