"A gastronomic white wine from a fresh vintage, which will perfectly reflect its terroir over time.

A fresh, aromatic wine with notes of citrus fruit, white flowers and pronounced minerality. Structured, elegant and full-bodied on the palate, with a long, mineral finish.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated wine (guide 2024 ) 91/100

Area rated (guide 2024) 1 (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

In the Muscadet region, Frédéric Lailler continues to forge ahead, growing his ten hectares of vines organically. The vineyard assets are impressive in terms of quality (six hectares on the gabbros of Gorges and one hectare in the granite sector of Clisson). The average age of the vineyard is around 65 years. With prices ranging from 7 to 14 euros, you'll want to be quick to build up a good cellar fund.

Domaine noté (guide 2024) 2 (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the wine:

A ripe expression of melon reminiscent of honeysuckle. It even has hints of Chenin Angevin. Frank and spontaneous. On the palate, powerful concentration and a structure profiled by a pretty, stimulating bitterness. Long ageing has softened its ardor. For laying down and eating.

About the domain :

Frédéric Lailler has kept the name of the domaine in homage to its former owner, Michel Brégeon, who in 2011 passed on to him his vines, on average 65 years old, spread across the Clisson (granite) and Gorges (gabbro) areas. These two local crus are showcased in tasty, relaxed whites that are invigoratingly full-bodied, a far cry from their muscadet counterparts.
