Michel Brégeon is a legendary figure in Loire winemaking and a passionate defender of Muscadet's terroir. He founded his domaine in 1975 and was instrumental in establishing several Crus in Sèvre et Maine, including Clisson. Though Michel retired after 2010, the estate continues under Fred Lailler, who trained with Michel and has converted the vineyards to organic farming while maintaining their rigorous philosophy. The signature sur lie technique—aging wine on its lees in glass-lined underground tanks for extended periods—adds roundness and complexity. Sèvre et Maine's diverse soils include gneiss, granite, and notably gabbro, a rare blue-green volcanic rock that imparts intense minerality. The 2023 vintage proved successful in the Pays Nantais despite summer heatwaves, with cool nights preserving the acidity and saline character essential to great Muscadet. This is coastal wine at its purest—mineral, precise, and built for oysters.

Professional Reviews

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"Enticing notes of ripe pear, apple and spices are plush in this white, with a savory beam of fine-grained mineral details driving energy. Shows depth on the long, streamlined and smoky-saline finish, along with a hint of grilled macadamia nut."

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
