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

About the wine:

About the estate:
Jo Landron’s wines have become benchmarks within 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. Hailing from a plot of undulating orthogneiss and quartz terrain, 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’s celebrate the journey of this extraordinary winemaker, whose wines rank among the most flavorful and moving in the Muscadet region.
