Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu sur lie 2010 – Domaine de la Touquetière – Alc.12 - was was another purchase at Carrefour's Foire aux Vins and far superior to the Sauvignons noted in the WF thread.
I enjoyed the 2009 and, when I saw these on offer at c.€10 for 3, I did not hesitate. It was maybe a touch crisper than the 2009 and equally mineral showing salt and iodine notes, together with some juicy fruit and a touch of “gras” and it complemented perfectly the first "moules marinières" (mussels) of the season; 15.5/20+++ QPR!!!.
I will buy a couple more three packs before the end of the Foire.
