1995 Luneau-Papin Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Le L D'Or (France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine)


Looks incredibly young. Light straw/pale yellow color. No sign of age and/or oxidation. Interesting marzipane and oily lemon on the nose with a hint of petrol that reminds ever-so-slightly of old Riesling. On the palate, this is liquid minerals with lemon zest. Drinking this reminds me of the taste of an oyster on the half-shell with some lemon juice and sea salt garnish. Just delicious. Was a great pairing with seared scallops.
