Domaine Landron Chartier Muscadet Coteaux de la Loire white 2023
An organic, terroir-driven white from Melon de Bourgogne grown across the Coteaux de la Loire. Hand harvested and fermented with native yeasts, it offers crisp green apple, citrus, and white flower aromas, leading to a fresh, vibrant palate with lively acidity and a clean, mineral finish. Domaine Landron Chartier exemplifies the modern renaissance of Muscadet, moving far beyond the commodity perception that long plagued this Loire Valley classic. The 2023 vintage captures the essence of organic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, with native yeast fermentation preserving the wine's natural complexity and regional character. The result is a wine of remarkable freshness and definition, one that reveals new layers with each sip and improves noticeably with slight chilling. Its crystalline acidity and saline minerality make it exceptionally food-friendly: pair with oysters, mussels, grilled fish, seafood risotto, or lighter poultry dishes for optimal expression. The wine's elegant restraint and purity also make it an ideal aperitif. This is Muscadet as serious winemakers intended, a wine that demonstrates how thoughtful farming and respectful winemaking can elevate a humble variety into something genuinely compelling and age-worthy, capable of developing subtle complexity over three to five years whilst remaining utterly refreshing now.
