Delauney Muscadet Tradition Sevre et Maine 2025

Florent Delaunay is a talented young winemaker who represents the third generation of winegrowers from his family to tend the vines at this beautiful 30 hectare estate in Le Loroux-Bottereaux in the Loire Valley. Florent has been executing on his vision for years, first converting the farming to entirely certified organic practices with more to come.

The small but mighty estate is located in the Muscadet Cru Communeau of Goulaine, at the northern end of the Sèvre-et-Maine appellation, where the vines, planted on outcroppings of gneiss, schist, and other metamorphic rock, overlook the marshland that extends north to the Loire. This part of the Loire is way too underrated, especially considering how many interesting and strong values come from here.
