Jérôme Bretaudeau is the grower people point to when they want to prove that Muscadet can be serious, and Theia is a fine way in. He spent a few years working with Landron before starting out on his own with two hectares in Gétigné in 2001. Today he farms fifteen hectares across Gétigné, Cugand, Clisson and Vallet, and he has been certified biodynamic since 2016. He's a restless experimenter. He ferments and ages in concrete eggs and amphorae alongside steel and oak, grows grapes that are rare around Nantes such as Savagnin and Folle Blanche, and harvests by vine age within each soil type rather than by named plot. Theia is pure Melon de Bourgogne in a light, minerally style. It comes from vines planted in 1988 on gabbro, the dark volcanic bedrock that gives this corner of the Loire its stony backbone. The label just says Vin de France, but in spirit this is very merry, very mineral Muscadet, and proof of how far the region has come from its crisp-and-simple reputation.

More about Bellevue (Jerome Bretaudeau)

Jérôme Bretaudeau farms about 15 hectares around Gétigné, Clisson, Cugand and Vallet in the Muscadet country, and he's the only registered vigneron in Gétigné. Influenced by Loire natural-wine figures like Jo Landron and Guy Bossard, he went certified organic in 2012 and then biodynamic, with Biodyvin certification in 2020. Alongside Muscadet he works with grapes like Chardonnay and Savagnin, and cuvées like Gaia show off his experiments with different vessels. These are wines that taste like place itself.
