"Jérôme Bretaudeau, a well-known winemaker in Muscadet (and France), began his winemaking in 2001 after working for a winegrower who was also a nurseryman. This gave him a precise vision of the quality of grafted plants and a desire to use greffage à l’anglaise instead of the widely used omega grafting method. He cultivates his 18-hectare vineyard with cover crops and ploughing, following the principles of biodynamic farming thanks to his meeting with the late Guy Bossard, another great figure of Muscadet. He avoids using barrels to mature his wines and completes malolactic fermentation on all his cuvées.

His wines are renowned for their freshness, crystalline tension and depth. In my opinion, he is one of France’s greatest winemakers."

MUSCADET CLOS DES BOUQUINARDIÈRES GABBRO 2020
100% Melon de Bourgogne from biodynamically-farmed vines in the commune of Clisson and planted on soils in which gabbro preponderates; gabbro is an intrusive, igneous rock similar to basalt. The fruit is direct-pressed, and the wine completes malolactic fermentation and is matured on lees for 10 months in stainless steel tanks
"The 2020 Clos des Bouquinardières, matured only in tank, has a well-defined bouquet with aromas of butter, pear, verbena, and crushed stones combined with a smoky, gently reduced character. Medium- to full-bodied, bright and tensile, it's seamless and layered with a delicate, saline and citrussy finish.

It’s a total gem but needs cellaring to come fully into focus."
