Aged on lees for a year, "Les Houx" boasts remarkable aromatic intensity. Notes of ripe citrus fruit evolve with fatness, giving structure and complexity to this nervous, fresh and iodized Muscadet. Excellent value for money.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Estate rated (2016 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Today, Joseph Landron, aka "Jo", cultivates a 46-hectare vineyard divided between two estates, Domaine de la Louveterie and Château de la Carizière, and is one of the best and most consistent producers of Muscadet. The vines are grown organically.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2016 guide) 15.5/20 (Good wine)
Estate rated (2016 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The finesse of the sands and sandstones sharpens the focus in the more complex Les Houx.
About the domain :
Jo Landron's cuvées have become benchmarks in the all-too-small family of muscadets de terroir. The wines are marketed in a staggered way, starting with the light, fruity Amphibolite - very popular with wine bars - then, depending on the case, the sandy-clay or the sandstone - the age of the vines interfering with the beautiful order of the terroirs. In the best years, Hermine d'Or combines maturity and freshness, and Fief du Breil offers real complexity.
