Jo Landron took over his father's domaine in 1990 and expanded it from 26 to 50 hectares, becoming one of Muscadet's leading vignerons. After a 1987 herbicide incident nearly poisoned his vines, he eliminated all chemicals and achieved organic certification in 2002, followed by Biodyvin biodynamic certification in 2011. The "Amphibolite" takes its name from the greenish metamorphic bedrock—formed from gabbro or basalt, rich in iron and magnesium—that gives pronounced minerality. Pure Melon de Bourgogne from vines 23-40 years old, wild yeast fermented in glazed cement, aged sur lie for four months. Never chaptalized, naturally low alcohol, bottled unfined and unfiltered with slight retained CO2. Bright citrus, pronounced salinity, oceanic minerality. Essential with oysters.

Wine Spectator

WS 89

"Refreshing and light-bodied, with mineral-driven energy behind its light notes of pear and meadow blossoms. Yeasty, salty drive keeps this focused and bright. Drink now through 2028."

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.
