• "Jo Landron's Muscadet Sevre et Maine is from a beautiful walled vineyard sloping towards the Sevre, with clay, sand, and quartz stones over a bedrock Orthogneiss.  The vines average 40 to 50 years of age, the vineyard is certified organic and biodynamic and gives very low yields.  Always one of my favorite Muscadets, the 2011 is superb with citrus, pear, and herbal aromas with a bit of smoke and sea-salt.  The palate is dense and very long with fabulous acidity.  It will provide exhilarating early drinking and will be very interesting in 20 years as well."
• My review:
• This wine had a pleasant floral aroma.  I tasted pear and peach.  However, it was very, very acidic, which I didn't like very much.  I really enjoyed the fruity flavors, but the acid made it harder to drink.
• I did not have this wine with food.
