Amphibolite is a lively, mineral wine. Unchaptalized, like the estate's other cuvées, it perfectly expresses its green rock terroir. One sip calls for another, for a wine to be enjoyed in its youth.

Domain rated (2016 guide) 3*Stars (A high-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2015) 15/20 (vintage 2013) (Good wine)
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
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.

Very pleasant, thirst-quenching, lively and straightforward ... to be enjoyed with Marennes-Oléron oysters, for example.
