Muscadet, But Not as You Know It: Bretaudeau Domaine de Bellevue
😍想搵啲驚喜又充滿風土同創意嘅酒，Domaine de Bellevue絕對要試！！Domaine de Bellevue位於Loire的Muscadet，由Jerome Bretaudeau於2001年創立，並重新定義呢個法國小角落嘅葡萄酒。
Jerome嘅熱情唔淨止係釀酒，而係每日不斷探索、實驗同挑戰界限💪🏻。與Muscadet一啲高產量嘅工業化合作社唔同，佢嘅酒莊係有機（2009年認證）同埋用生物動力法（2020年認證）。由最初嘅2公頃家族葡萄園，佢擴展到15公頃，遍佈Getigne、Cugand、Clisson同Vallet，精挑細選11種葡萄——有當地招牌Melon de Bourgogne，仲有意外之選如Merlot、Chardonnay同Savagnin，全部同最適合嘅風土配對，然後由大自然發揮。
佢按葡萄藤年紀同土壤類型收成，用massale選種重新種植，又測試不同覆蓋作物，睇得出佢真心想了解自己嘅土地。佢嘅winery好似一個實驗樂園，有木桶、混凝土蛋形桶、陶罐同不鏽鋼桶一齊玩出花樣！有啲酒甚至用solera系統。用天然酵母同超少硫磺，佢嘅酒層次豐富、精準又充滿活力，因為非傳統嘅風格而經常被標為Vin de France。Domaine de Bellevue嘅酒充滿活力又精緻，絕對係Muscadet嘅新體驗！😚

😍For those seeking bottles that surprise, delight, and tell a story of terroir and innovation, Domaine de Bellevue is a must. Within the Loire’s Muscadet region, Domaine de Bellevue, founded in 2001 by the endlessly curious Jerome Bretaudeau, is crafting wines that redefine what this corner of France can offer.
Jerome’s passion is contagious. He’s not just making wine—he’s exploring, experimenting, and pushing boundaries💪🏻. Unlike Muscadet’s often industrial, high-yield cooperatives, his winery is organic (certified 2009) and biodynamic (certified 2020). From 2 hectares of family vineyards, he expanded to 15 hectares across Getigne, Cugand, Clisson, and Vallet, carefully matching 11 grape varieties— the region’s signature Melon de Bourgogne to unexpected choices like Merlot, Chardonnay, and Savagnin—to their ideal terroir, letting nature guide the way.
Harvesting by vine age and soil type, replanting via massale selection, and exploring cover crops show his commitment to understanding his land. His winery is like an experimental playground, with barrels, concrete eggs, amphorae, and stainless steel tanks working together to create something truly unique. Some cuvées even play with a solera system. Using natural yeasts and minimal sulfur, his wines are layered, precise, and vibrant, often labelled as Vin de France for their unconventional style. Domaine de Bellevue’s vibrant and sophisticated take on Muscadet making it a top pick for unique, terroir-driven wines.😚
