Domaine Bretaudeau Muscadet Sevre et Maine Granite Les Perrieres 2022

$5199

The Les Perrières is another example of why Jérôme is such a pioneer, crafting Muscadet at an entirely different level. On the nose, you get this beautiful, bright burst of citrus and white fruits like crisp apple. The palate is bold and direct, but then the wine opens up into this sophisticated balance between a rich, silky texture and a deep, stony minerality. Such gorgeous expression of those intense granite soils he works with. It is incredibly savory and packed with personality, making it the ultimate partner for a big platter of shellfish or oysters. This isn't just a simple white, t’s a precise, elegant bottle that captures the vibrating energy of the terroir. Both were very good vintages with the 2022 being slightly leaner than the more densely frutied ‘23.

More about Domaine de Bellevue

One grower has emerged as perhaps Muscadet’s most dynamic and nuanced terroir translator: Jérôme Bretaudeau. Growing up in the region, Jérôme always knew that a life in the vines was his calling. He worked for a few years with Landron before setting out on his own. With a fervent commitment to natural farming (certified Biodynamic since 2016) and an innovative, thoughtful approach to fermentation, élevage, and even grape variety, Bretaudeau’s wines are in a class of their own, inspired by but unbound by local rules and tradition. He interprets the complex geology of Muscadet in ingenious and stunningly delicious ways.

Where Jérôme really sets himself apart though is with his savvy use of non-traditional fermentation and aging vessels including concrete eggs and amphorae along with the classic stainless steel and oak barrels. The wines often have a touch of fine-grained reduction which supports their explosive aromatic intensity. They are tightly wound and quite tense at the outset but with just a touch of air, the wines unfurl layers of ripe white and yellow stone fruits with a crystalline mineral crunch that verges on tannic. These are wines of pure energy and they’re a total joy to drink.
