Summer is quickly coming to a close, but you can hold on to those sunny days with this $19.99 Muscadet from Pepiere! Pepiere is the old school classic Muscadet that continues to be one, if not the best. For decades, it has been served in the finest restaurants for $20 / glass, and it’s worth it… but we have it for a market low price of $19.99 / bottle!
“Established in 1984, this estate has quickly become a standard of excellence due to the tireless efforts of its founder, Marc Ollivier. In 2011, Rémi Branger took over the reins, followed by Gwénaëlle Croix in 2013. They have upheld the estate’s time-honored techniques, such as aging the wines in vats rather than barrels and refraining from using amphorae, and giving preference to older vines. These wines exhibit timeless qualities, with remarkable texture and tension, making them ideal for prolonged aging.” – The Wine Advocate
2022 Pepiere Muscadet Sur Lie Clos des Briords is from old vines and scored 92 points. 92 points is just about the highest score a Muscadet can receive, and this new 2022 vintage is about as good Muscadet can be!
It’s the perfect summer wine for shellfish, seafood and especially lobster. This Loire white is drinking great now – 2030.
Cheers!
