(Notes from the 2013 vintage)

La Louvetrie is aged on lees for six months, giving it a dry, rich character. A subtle hint of brininess brings freshness and liveliness to this cuvée. The mineral notes characteristic of the Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine appellation are supported by elegant citrus aromas. A fresh wine to be enjoyed young.

Wine rating (2015 guide) 14/20 (2013 vintage) (Good wine)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the estate:

Jo Landron's vintages have become benchmarks in the small family of terroir Muscadets. The winemaker with the legendary moustache has breathed new life into the white melon grape. What Muscadet lover is not familiar with the invigorating Amphibolite vintage? The other wines, boosted by the switch to biodynamics in 2011, sensitively convey this beautiful identity. From a plot of undulating orthogneiss and quartz, Le Fief du Breil embodies a luminous expression of umami flavor, carried by its 36 months of aging. A wine with extraordinary saline depth that asserts itself with age. Jo has officially handed over the reins to his daughter Hélène and her partner Nicolas Chaurois. Let's salute the career of this extraordinary winemaker, whose wines are among the most delicious and moving in Muscadet.
