Aging on the lees for one year gives the “Les Houx” cuvée remarkable aromatic intensity. Notes of ripe citrus that develop into a rich, full-bodied character lend this lively, fresh, and briny Muscadet a beautiful structure and great complexity. Excellent value for the price.

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

The fine-grained nature of the sand and sandstone adds nuance to the more complex Houx.

About the estate:

Jo Landron’s wines have become benchmarks in the small family of terroir-driven Muscadets. The winemaker with the legendary mustache has breathed new life into the Melon Blanc grape. What Muscadet lover isn’t familiar with the invigorating Amphibolite? The other wines, enhanced by the transition to biodynamic farming in 2011, sensitively capture this beautiful identity. Sourced from a plot of undulating orthogneiss and quartz, Le Fief du Breil embodies a luminous expression of umami flavor, shaped by its 36-month aging. A wine with extraordinary saline depth that gains character with age. Jo has officially handed the reins to her daughter Hélène and her partner Nicolas Chaurois. Let us salute the career of this extraordinary winemaker, whose wines are among the most flavorful and moving in the Muscadet region.
