“La Tour Gallus 2023, a beautiful example of straight Melon, sets the tone for these subtle, nuanced whites. Fleur de Gabbro takes things a step further in terms of exoticism and richness, with the same beautifully sculpting bitter notes on the finish. A magnificent expression of the terroir in the Gorges 2019, which seems much younger than its age.”

“Aged on lees for over five years, this venerable Gorges retains its freshness with both effectiveness and delight. Complex and delicate, with notes of fine honey, juicy fruit and citrus, it offers a harmonious, refined and fresh palate, supported by beautiful structure.”

Guide HACHETTE
“This Muscadet from La Tour Gallus is one of my absolute favourites from the appellation. Forget all the clichés about it; here, you’re about to experience something sublime! Made from 35-year-old vines rooted in gabbro soil, it evokes the sea and immediately makes me think of food and wine pairings. I love its dry, almost insolent character, and that salty note that fits perfectly at the table. This wine is a tribute to simplicity… perfectly mastered.”

“After 218 months (over 18 years) on its lees, it’s finally available for sale! A rich, aged bouquet with notes of hazelnut, full-bodied. The umami combined with that final hint of bitterness – drawn from the gabbro, the rare rock of Gorges – is simply incredible! A surprisingly youthful character.”
