Drink it now. Unlike its 2004 and 2005 predecessors, the 2006 Pepiere Muscadet Sevre et Maine Clos des Briords Vielles Vignes begs to be drunk the minute it comes off the shelf. While its more acidic and illustrious predecessors require a decade or two to reveal all their treasures, this humble but accessible fish-friendly wine, with its lemony charm, appears to me to lack the necessary acid for long term cellaring but compensates with upfront palate-cleansing lemony freshness. I paid $11.62 and it's worth a lot more but maybe you can find it for less. A Louis/Dressner selection, wouldn't you know it.
