100% Melon de Bourgogne
In 1945, just 20 years after the formation of Sèvre et Maine appellation Pierre and Julien Landron, father and uncle respectively of Joseph (Jo) Landron bought up some rugged land and planted some Melon B. and spent the next 30 years building their estate. Jo joined his dad in 1980 and soon began converting to full organic and biodynamic becoming one of the leaders in the resurgence in the quality of Muscadet. Jo also has the best mustache in the wine world.
Landron also crafts this brilliant value méthode traditionnelle, that he calls Cuvée Atmosphères. It’s a hand-harvested, naturally fermented, low dosage bubbles that shows up many a conventional and big name Champagne for both quality and value. Jo uses a hand-harvested blend of Folle Blanche and a little Chardonnay. Lovely, delicate, floral, with a white stone and white peach character. A very gentle palate follows, showing some lightly honeyed fruit cast against a minerally background with a fine pétillance.
