Domaines Landron - La Louvetrie 2014

The transition is proceeding smoothly between Jo Landron and his daughter Hélène, who is now managing the 46 hectares of biodynamically farmed land at Château de la Carizière and Domaine de la Louveterie.

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.
