"I also had the pleasure to taste Marc Ollivier’s 2019 vintage of Monnières- Saint Fiacre a year ago and was delighted to have another opportunity to revisit this magical wine. As I have mentioned in the past, Marc only began bottling this wine on its own and labeling it as MonnièresSaint Fiacre in the 2013 vintage, though it had occasionally found its way into bottle as a solo effort prior to 2013, when Marc would label it as Cuvée Eden. The 2019 Monnières- Saint Fiacre is utterly brilliant on both the nose and palate, offering up a complex bouquet of tart orange, bread fruit, a gorgeously complex base of stony minerality, lovely leesy tones, citrus blossoms and a topnote of ocean breeze. On the palate the wine is deep, pure, focused and complex, with a full- 100 bodied format that revels in its mineral drive, superb core of fruit, lovely leesy amplitude, a superb girdle of acidity and laser-like precision on the very, very long, complex and vibrant finish. This is stunning young Muscadet! 2024-2065. "
