Domaines Landron - Haute Tradition 2011
15,5/20
RVF
Haute Tradition is the perfect result of the combination of quartz soil, Melon de Bourgogne grapes, and a dedicated winemaker. After nearly a year of aging on lees, this cuvée has substance and balance, with a lively attack. It would benefit from a little more aging in the cellar to reveal smoky and spicy notes.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)

About wine:
Haute Tradition confirms its status as a great vintage [...] with a 2011 of impressive stature.
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.
