Damien Rineau La Tour Gallus Muscadet Sevre et Maine 2020
If I’m going to bring you a brand new varietal, I’m going for one of the best. This is a beauty from Damien Rineau pulled from his 17-hectare Domaine La Tour Gallus. This site has been farmed by fathers and sons for nine consecutive generations – and the incredible Alluvial soil type here, lends a ton of potassium, magnesium and calcium deposits to the vines, allowing for optimal growth.
Take that and the ‘Cru Communal’ designate this site received in 2011 (one of the first 3 in the entire region) and all of a sudden, you have a true ringer– a perfect white wine for the here and now.
Original price was: $20.00.$16.00Current price is: $16.00.

90+ Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2020 La Tour Gallus presents a delightful and refreshing bouquet with hints of pear, menthol and spring flowers, complemented by both exotic and maritime notes. Perfectly balanced and moderately weighted, it’s juicy and lively with bright acids and a mineral and iodine-inflected finish. This is a strong effort from Damien Rineau.
90+ Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This one is electric, great minerality, great lemon lime and saltiness. It even has a little ageability. I’d drink this over the next few years. This is one of the absolute best expressions from the region (a Cru vineyard designate in 2011) and so perfect with anything out of the sea but in particular the raw bar. Crisp and clean stone fruit with some pear, and a lot of personality. This is a great new discovery wine to check out.
