Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted Aug 5th 2017, with good friends at dinner. Colour medium lemon, light legs. Aromas and flavours of lime, lemon, green apple, pear. Taste very dry, light mouthfeel, mouthwatering, easy to drink and refreshing and crisp. We ate Hawaiian Poke ( raw tuna) with the wine.
The match was good. This wine pairs well with shellfish. Fun facts, Muscadet Sur Lie Maine produces 70% of Muscadet wine. I France the grape is referred to as Melon, " Melon de Bourgogne". Sur Lie on the label means on the lees, a process were the wine is aged in dead yeast for some time ( source Wine Folly )

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
