Winery review: Jo Landron's Mucadet Sevre et Maine is from a beautiful walled vineyard sloping towards the Sevre, with clay, sand and quartz stones over a bedrock of Orthogneiss. The vines average 40 to 50 years of age, the vineyard is certified organic and biodynamic and gives very low yields. Always one of my favorite Muscadets, the 2011 is superb with citrus, pear and herbals aromas with a bit of smoke and sea-salt. The palate is dense and very long with fabulous acidity. It will provide exhilarating early drinking and will be very interesting in 20 years as well.
My review: The wine had a very a distinct smell. It was like grapes mixed with stones and rocks. That was something that I was not expecting from a wine. This is the first time I've ever smelled something this different. The wine even tasted like rock and stone with a hint of tartness.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
