Loire, France
2010
$15.95
Review provided by the Vintage Cellar: Jo Landron's Muscadet Sevre et Maine is from a beautiful walled vineyard sloping towards the Sevre, with clay, sand, and quartz stones over a bedrock of Orthogneiss. The vines average fourty to fifty years of age, the vineyard is certified organic and biodynamic and gives very low yields. Always one of my favorite Muscadets, the 2011 is superb with citrus, pear and herbal aromas with a bit of smoke and sea-salt. The palate is dense and very long with fabulous acidity. It will provide exhilarating early drinking and will be very interesting in twenty years as well.
My Review: A good start for my wine tasting experience this go-around. The herbal aromas mentioned in The Vintage Cellar's review were evident and the sea salt provided a unique touch to the wine.
