DOMAINE MICHEL BREGEON
Michel Bregeon cultivates 6 ha of muscadet of average age of about forty years. Here, we do in the reasoned culture, minimum treatments, and considering the thin layer of soil covering the gabbro slopes, organic manure represents the essential element of the inputs. He also tries to stay at 50 hl per hectare, hand-picked and must be among the last to put his portoires directly into the press so as not to cause the grapes to suffer. No yeast either, chaptalization almost non-existent, put in aerial tanks at the beginning and put on lees in glass tanks by simple gravity. Its nutmeg remains on lees for at least 4 years, to provide all the richness and food essential to great wines. Each vintage therefore depends a lot on the sky, try the 2000 cru bourgeois, 50 months aged on lees and honoured with two stars in the Hachette guide. Michel Brégeon has joined the group of winegrowers (there are 10 of them) who also produce this great local muscadet called the gorgeois. Moreover, the 2000 is also a reference here. At the opening, it releases its minty notes and pear and lemon flavours. A rich and full palate... A must! Finally, it should be noted that the vineyard began its organic conversion in 2018, a conversion that should be completed by the end of 2019.
