What is this wine?
Jean-Baptiste Hardy is a young Loire vigneron gaining attention for precise, terroir-driven Muscadet. Éclats is 100% Melon de Bourgogne from organically farmed vines in Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine. The name means “fragments” or “shards,” a nod to the stony soils that shape the wine’s mineral character. Fermented with native yeasts and aged sur lie, it shows the freshness and texture that make modern Muscadet so compelling.

Why get this wine?
Muscadet has become one of France’s most exciting sources for mineral whites, and Hardy is part of the new wave pushing quality higher than ever. Éclats delivers crystalline precision, salinity, and balance—perfect for seafood lovers—at an exceptional value. For fans of Chablis or other mineral-driven whites, this is a discovery bottle.

What does this wine taste like?
Crisp and zesty, with lemon, green apple, and pear layered over crushed stone, herbs, and a saline edge. Lees aging adds a touch of roundness without sacrificing tension.

When should you drink this wine?
Best enjoyed young, 2024–2027, for its brightness and lift. Ideal with oysters, clams, sushi, or goat cheese. Serve well chilled.
