Serge Valentin (87)

Another Bunny by Wemyss…

Colour: straw.

Nose: a little older, a little smoother, with a little more fruits (pineapple and oranges), a touch of coconut and barley water, then some clean grapefruits and apples, and a milder, easier, slightly more complex peatiness. A discreeter peatiness, that is. As for the oysters, I protest, that’s rather whelks. Jo-king.

Mouth: so good, so clean, so quaffable, so pure, so easy… And they were right, that would be oysters with lemon pearls. And a dash of black pepper.

Finish: long, even more lemony. Zing!

Comments: there, you have your muscadet at high strength to drink with your oysters! Seriously, this works extremely well, it’s in the same league as that ‘Seaweeds on the Rocks’ by Wemyss that we tried last year. Same batch, same purity
