(2013 Vintage Notes)

La Louvetrie is aged on its lees for six months, giving it a dry, full-bodied character. A subtle effervescence adds freshness and liveliness to this cuvée. The mineral notes so characteristic of the Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine appellation are complemented by elegant citrus aromas. A fresh wine best enjoyed young.

Rated wine (2015 guide) 14/20 (2013 vintage) (Good wine)

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 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 white melon 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. Hailing 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 his 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 Muscadet.
