Amphibolite
A very successful Amphibolite; as taut and mineral as one could imagine, even tracing, with this saline and lemony mid and end of mouth. Decidedly the perfect match for oysters and other seafood. The sea straight from the earth!
Always a pleasure to sip this melon, both sanguine and carnal. It should be uncorked in its early youth to enjoy its energetic structure to the full.
Amphibolite is a Muscadet signed Jo Landron, coming as its name indicates from a terroir of amphibolites; very solid metamorphic rocks which give the wine a deep minerality. Jo Landron tries to intervene as little as possible to preserve all the qualities of this terroir in the bottle; manual harvesting, fermentation with indigenous yeasts without any chaptalisation. The wine is matured on its lees for 4 months in order to keep all the freshness and energy in the finished product and then bottled by gravity without any filtration.

The Estate Jo Landron
"Vigneron exemplaire, Jo Landron figure depuis plusieurs décennies parmi les meilleurs et les plus réguliers producteurs de muscadet. Les domaines comprennent 46 hectares, cultivés en bio et répartis entre deux sites, le domaine de la Louvetrie et le château de La Carizière.
Ses crus évoluent parfaitement avec le temps. Amphibolite, léger, à boire sur le fruit, se montre primesautier et fait preuve d'un glissant réjouissant : un modèle de style ligérien.
Selon les sols, argilo-sableux ou grès, et l'âge des vignes, les millésimes se succèdent avec bonheur, les vins offrant magnifique une énergie et une évidence naturelle qui, avec le temps, leur donne des airs de grand chablis. Avec des prix qui restent très sages, cette adresse est une référence." 3*/5 Bettane+Desseauve 2022
