Tasting by Yohan Castaing in 2023: "Aged 36 months on the lees and made from 70-year-old grapes grown on gneiss soils, the 2020 Château-Thébaud has an elegant, refined bouquet with aromas of pear, fennel, anise, iodine and a hint of reduction. Medium-bodied, fleshy and incisive, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish, this is a terrific effort! This organic wine is accessible now, but it's also designed to evolve gracefully."

• Description : Overlooking the junction of the Sèvre and Maine rivers, the Aulnaye hillside, at the geographical and historical heart of the appellation, offers one of the most spectacular views of the Nantes vineyards. This Muscadet comes from our oldest vines, rooted in gneiss. Three years of maturing on the lees make this an exceptional wine, suitable for ageing, offering a perfect combination of freshness and persistence on the palate, with notes of smoke, citrus fruit, fennel and aniseed.
