Domaine de Bellevue (Jérôme Bretaudeau) Description
We have long admired the passion, curiosity and experimentation happening chez Jérôme Bretaudeau, a small estate based in Gétigné in the Muscadet region. From his meticulous farming in the vineyards - where classic Melon de Bourgogne vines grow alongside Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir and Merlot to his work in the cellar - a kaleidoscope of stainless steel vats, casks, barrels, concrete eggs and amphora that implies someone constantly pushing the limits of what’s possible in this region. His range of wines are a fascinating interpretation of the gabbro, granite and gneiss terroirs, offering just the right balance between ripe fruit and mineral expression.
100% Melon de Bourgogne from vines farmed biodynamically in the commune of Clisson and planted on gabbro soils.
In the winery: direct pressing, 10 months of maturation on lees in stainless steel vats and concrete vats, with a light dose of sulphites at bottling.
