Awarded one star by the RVF Guide—a respected French wine publication—Jérémie Huchet brilliantly captures the essence of the Loire Valley with talent and conviction. In Muscadet, he crafts precise wines that stay true to their appellation and terroir, with the capacity to age beautifully over time.

Old vines, organic farming, hand harvesting, wild yeast fermentations, and traditional lees aging “à la nantaise,” followed by partial maturation in large wooden casks and barrels, form the backbone of his approach. Combined with a focus on highlighting each unique parcel, this results in wines with remarkable aging potential—extraordinary bottlings that remain sadly underestimated.
