RVF

Aged for an extended period on the lees, the Fief du Breil exhibits more complex and smoky notes than Jo Landron’s other Muscadets. The lively attack gives way to fruit with a racy, wild character. It’s no surprise that this is the estate’s flagship wine. Praised by the press vintage after vintage, this is a cuvée you won’t want to miss!

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:

Le Fief du Breil established its reputation in 2013.

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.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU T. Published on September 21, 2016

Clearly fuller-bodied than the Amphibolite, of course. Still very fresh. Already very pleasant, even though it’s clear that it will need at least two or three years to reach its full potential.
