The 2012 Briords is about to arrive in this market and I'm wondering if anyone has tasted it.
Thanks,

This was my second successful Muscadet lucky dip (out of two) at a local supermarket. It is produced by a wine co-operative at Ancenis, which is part of a vast agricultural co-operative group, called Terrena, not normally the sort of organisation where I would be looking for my wines.
It was quite light bodied, bone dry and very crisp with nice notes of citrus fruit and apple allied to saline minerality and enough stuffing to make a good pairing with cod in a creamy mussel sauce. Good 15.5/20++ QPR and worth a repeat buy.

Tim - Thanks for the interesting note. I tried this co-op's Coteaux d'Ancenis Rosé a couple of years ago, and was not impressed; glad to hear that this sounds like a better wine.

Tim,
A very good producer in my experience. They have several different bottlings. If you ever come across their Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie Le "L" d'Or" grab some. It is very well made and also age-worthy. Costs about $20 here.
