In the glass

Aroma: lemon, white peach, wet stone, white flower

Palate: citrus, saline mineral, stone fruit, creamy lees

Landron's flagship single-vineyard Muscadet from orthogneiss and quartz parcels. Signature cuvée from the region with long lees ageing and biodynamic depth.

What it pairs with

• Lobster ravioli
  Shellfish sweetness meets the wine's creamy lees and saline-mineral lift.
• Sole bonne femme
  Mushroom-shallot cream sauce meets the wine's chalky drive and saline lift.
• Plateau de fruits de mer
  Full saline mineral handles oysters, langoustines, whelks and crab in a single sip.
• Coquilles Saint-Jacques
  Scallop sweetness meets chalky mineral lift; the wine's creamy lees handle butter sauce.

History

Jo Landron established Le Fief du Breil as the estate's flagship single-vineyard Muscadet in the early 1990s. The cuvée draws from orthogneiss and quartz parcels.
