The 2023 Jo Landron Muscadet Sèvre et Maine La Louvetrie is a beautifully pure and mineral-driven Melon de Bourgogne from one of the Loire Valley’s benchmark organic and biodynamic producers. Produced from old vines planted on mica-schist soils near the village of La Haye-Fouassière, the wine reflects Jo Landron’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy and the Atlantic freshness that defines great Muscadet. La Louvetrie is one of the domaine’s signature cuvées, known for combining vibrant citrus fruit with saline precision and remarkable terroir transparency. The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and pear layered alongside white flowers, oyster shell and subtle smoky mineral notes, giving the wine impressive lift and clarity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, silky texture and a tightly focused mineral core. Layers of citrus peel, orchard fruit and delicate saline complexity are balanced by chalky freshness and maritime tension, finishing long, dry and beautifully persistent with excellent precision and drinkability. Extended lees ageing contributes subtle texture and depth while preserving the wine’s crystalline purity and energetic coastal character. The schist-rich soils of La Louvetrie lend additional mineral detail and finesse, making this a particularly expressive and age-worthy Muscadet.
