(Notes from the 2013 vintage)

Amphibolite is a lively, crisp wine with mineral notes. Like the estate's other vintages, it is unchaptalized and beautifully expresses its green rock terroir. One sip leads to another in this wine that is best enjoyed young.

Wine rating (2015 guide) 15/20 (2013 vintage) (Good wine)

Rated estate (2016 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Jo Landron's vintages have become benchmarks in the small family of terroir Muscadets. The wines are marketed in a staggered manner, starting with the light Amphibolite, which is best enjoyed for its fruitiness and is very popular in wine bars, followed by the clay-sand or sandstone wines, depending on the case, with the age of the vines influencing the beautiful arrangement of the terroirs. In the best years, Hermine d'Or combines maturity and freshness, and Fief du Breil offers real complexity.
