About this wine
Jo Landron Muscadet Sèvre et Maine “Les Houx” 2021 is a small‑batch, biodynamic white wine from the Les Houx vineyard in La Haye‑Fouassière within the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine AOC of the Loire Valley, France. Made from 100% Melon de Bourgogne, this cuvée highlights the region’s hallmark crisp acidity, distinctive minerality and coastal influence.
Tasting notes
Light‑bodied and bright, this wine offers aromas of lemon zest, citrus oil and white peach, underpinned by brisk acidity and iodized minerality. The palate is crisp and structured, with a saline, flinty character and energizing finish that pairs beautifully with fresh seafood and savoury dishes.

Jo Landron Muscadet Sèvre et Maine 'Les Houx' 2021
The grapes are harvested by hand and ferment with indigenous yeasts. The wine ages on its lees for a lengthy 18 months before bottling. Landron is now using the Italian-made Tava amphorae for 30% of the wine and is delighted with the results.
Much like the man himself, the engaging Muscadets of Jo Landron brim with life and personality. These finely etched, soil-specific wines represent the antithesis of the bland, neutral, overcropped produce that has sadly become the regional norm. Jo Landron, who the paysan tradition from his father, took control of the family Domaine in 1990. His philosophy—driven by the conviction that the essence of great Muscadet is expressed through the minerality of its terroir—has raised the regional bar so high that until recently only the granite-infused bottlings from the great Guy Bossard rival these Muscadets for the sheer intensity of flavour and distinctive, electric energy.
