The cuvée takes its name from its distinctive amphibolite soils, a greenish metamorphic rock derived from gabbro. Landron created the Amphibolite bottling specifically to highlight this terroir, and the estate describes it as a youthful, citrus-driven Muscadet with a distinctly saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2025 is harvested by hand and undergoes direct pneumatic pressing of whole clusters, with \u003c\/span\u003eno chaptalization and no settling of the juice. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts under temperature control, followed by roughly six months of aging on the lees in glass-lined concrete tanks. This relatively short élevage is intentional: Amphibolite is designed to emphasize freshness, immediacy and the lively character of Melon rather than the deeper, longer-aged style found in some of Landron’s cru-level Muscadets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDomaines Landron is a family-run estate in \u003c\/span\u003eLa Haye-Fouassière in Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, with roots dating back to the 1940s. Jo Landron joined the family domaine in 1979 and became a leading advocate for terroir-driven Muscadet, focusing on how the region’s diverse geology can produce distinctly different expressions of Melon de Bourgogne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate began farming organically in 1999, achieved organic certification in 2002, and became Biodyvin-certified biodynamic in 2011. In the cellar, Landron takes a minimalist approach, using hand harvesting, whole-bunch pressing, indigenous yeasts, parcel-by-parcel vinification, and lees aging to preserve freshness and clearly express each vineyard’s character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Jo’s daughter Hélène Landron\u003cspan\u003e represents the next generation, having joined the domaine in 2021 and taken charge of its vineyards in 2024. Across roughly 33 hectares, the family produces site-driven wines such as Amphibolite, Les Houx, and Fief du Breil, each highlighting a different geological identity and showcasing the remarkable diversity and potential of Muscadet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580362613025,"sku":"210000022610","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/SSWINEBOTTLEPHOTOTEMPLATE_81c97c06-5a4e-4f17-a84c-cb697a15b1b9.png?v=1790360245","url":"https:\/\/perrineswine.com\/products\/2025-domaines-landron-muscadet-sevre-et-maine-amphibolite-loire-valley-france","provider":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
