This bright white wine has a rich medium golden-yellow colour. The nose is effusive with an expressive pleasant smell of citrus, strong honey and spicies. In mouth, this gorgeous, light and fruity wine has a soft attack, a supple and fruity evolution (We feel all the aromas in the mouth especially muscat)and fresh finish with honey taste. It's a nice, fruity well-balanced sweet white wine.

This wine has a bright golden yellow robe. It has a pleasant fruity smell, with some fig or muscat tints, and therefore you expect a very sweet wine. In mouth, it has a well balanced body, the attack is soft and very supple. The evolution is quite fruity and flowery with a touch of violet and liquorice. It ends with a very fresh honey note.

2005 Domaine Bruno Cormerais
- sur Lie

Vielle Vigne
(France / Loire Valley / Pays Nantais / Muscadet de Sevre-et-Maine)
|
ALCOHOL: 13.0%
RATED: 02/24/2009 |
|
|
|
| COMMENTS: |
It is a well balanced wine with a beautiful clear yellow colour. This Muscadet has a pleasant fruity smell making you think of melon. While testing this medium bodied wine, an effervescent mouthfeel can be felt. Moreover, a good suppleness gives a good impression during the mouth felt. This wine has a little acidity at the beginning and at the end and is a bit supple in the middle of the tasting. However, it leaves an agreable medium lenght finish.
In fact this a fruitiness refreshing light wine.
