Best Value ★★★ Stéphane Orieux Domaine de la Bregeonnette Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie 2017 $156 case
100% Melon de Bourgogne
“Savory and lip-smacking, with aromas and flavors of herbs and stony minerals.” — Eric Asimov October 2018, New York Times
Joseph Orieux founded this domaine in the town of Vallet in the 1960's and has been organic from the start, recently becoming certified (only 12 producers out of 600+ actually have the certification). Today, Joseph's grandson, Stéphane Orieux upholds his family's traditions of organic farming, hand-harvesting, wild yeast fermentations, and long, sur-lie aging. Due to the many decades of experience, Bregeonnette has become a reference point for other winemakers in the region who want to learn how to work organically in the vines. Even Marc Ollivier of Domaine de la Pépière consults Stéphane when he has questions about organic treatments. |
