Famille Lieubeau Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine "Bel Abord" dry white 2023:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept 2025): 89/100. A series of 2023 perfectly calibrated. The breadth and intensity of flavors crescendo from Confluent to Bel Abord.

La Revue du Vin de France (A. Goujard, July-August 2025) "Tour de France of stunning bottles under €15": 88/100. A melon always straight in its boots. Beautifully floral and lemony, it goes straight and makes us salivate, without hitting us hard.
