The 2024 Jo Landron Muscadet Sèvre et Maine La Louvetrie is 100% Melon de Bourgogne from the western Loire Valley, offering the freshness and mineral character that make Muscadet such a natural partner for seafood. Based in La Haye-Fouassière, the Landron family has become closely associated with the region’s quality-focused growers, achieving organic certification in 2002 and biodynamic certification through Biodyvin in 2011. La Louvetrie brings together several estate terroirs, including soils influenced by amphibolite, sand, clay and gneiss. Hand harvesting, native-yeast fermentation and maturation on the lees give this classic cuvée its combination of lively fruit, texture and definition.
The 2024 offers juicy citrus, bright acidity and a clean, saline mineral finish, with enough texture to give the palate substance alongside its refreshing energy. Lees maturation contributes gentle breadth and a rounded feel, balancing the wine’s brisk citrus character without overwhelming its delicate flavours. Contemporary descriptions of this vintage highlight its vibrant fruit, freshness and sea-salt character, while importer Beaune Imports notes a satisfying fullness that carries through to a lively finish. This is a dry, expressive style of Muscadet whose appeal comes from the balance between fruit, texture and salinity, making it equally enjoyable as an aperitif or alongside a meal.
