Jerome Bretaudeau Muscadet Granit Clos des Bouquinardieres 2020

Who :Jerome Bretaudeau
Where: Loire Valley, France
What: Melon de Bourgogne

Jérôme Bretaudeau of Domaine de Belle-Vue is one of the leading lights in the most western region of the Loire Valley, Muscadet producing natural wines with precision that are consistently good, year after year. These are some very serious wines from old vine, yet they dance with freshness. Beautifully fine, with silky texture and saline minerality.

100% Melon de Bourgogne from vines farmed biodynamically in the commune of Clisson and planted on gabbro soils. This parcel is in the process of conversion to be certified organic. In the winery: direct pressing, 10 months of maturation on lees in stainless steel vats and concrete vats, with a light dose of sulphites at bottling.
