"Vinified and aged in terracotta eggs, Medolia leaves a rich sensation of its sunny vintage, while expressing a beautiful range of flavors. Serve at the table." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF) A salty tension, beautiful freshness, and a light tannic finish. A Muscadet off the beaten track, aged for 12 months in terracotta egg-shaped vats.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Jean-Jacques Bonnet and Vincent Pineau are the duo at the helm of this family estate, which is run biodynamically with the aim of bringing out the best in the gneiss, micaschist, amphibolite, and granite soils. All the wines are increasingly expressive of their terroirs, with the communal Goulaine vintage being a superb success, powerful and built for aging.

About the estate:
The Bonnet-Huteau family has presided over the destiny of the family estate for 150 years. Today, two passionate winemakers, Jean-Jacques Bonnet and Vincent Pineau, manage the 40-hectare property, which was certified biodynamic in 2010. Four terroirs are vinified separately to bring out their finest expression. On Les Dabinières – warm gneiss and micaschist soil – the fruit expresses itself with roundness. On the amphibolite and micaschist of Les Gautronnières, the melon becomes mineral and taut. The poor, granitic soils of Les Laures produce a denser, more complete wine. Produced in the best years and aged for 18 months on lees (the minimum requirement), the Goulaine communal wine is deep and ready for aging. While the wines are full of energy, we have some reservations about the Medolia cuvée, whose aging in dolia seems to weaken its natural vitality.
