Domaine Landron was founded in 1945 when Joseph Landron's father and grandfather purchased 3 hectares of vineyards in La Haie-Fouassière. Since 1990 Joseph, "Jo" to his friends, after taking the reins of the winery from his father has expanded the vineyards to today's approximately 50 hectares, planted mostly with Melon de Bourgogne and about 7 hectares with Folle Blanche, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and the unknown and indigenous Montils.
The Sevre lowland where the vineyards are scattered is a puzzle of many ancient soils also very different from each other, hence the decision on Melon de Bourgogne to vinify each parcel separately, to return to the bottle as many different expressions of Muscadet as there are different terroirs of the Domaine. This is an enormous "precision" work, made up of manual harvests with selection of the bunches in the field, separate fermentations and targeted aging.
This in-depth study of the terroir together with a very elegant hand in the cellar have created a mythical aura around Jo's wines, among the highest expressions of the entire region.
The philosophy of the Domaine
The approach to farming as well as to winemaking are the result of a process of change that started from afar and has not yet stopped. Jo is an extremely humble and curious person who never takes anything for granted. In 1999 the first major change: the conversion of all the vineyards to organic, with certification obtained in 2002.
Then in 2005 thanks to the friendship and collaboration with Pierre Masson, Jo opened up to biodynamics, gradually introducing its practices in the winery until the certification obtained in 2011. During this long period by Jo's own admission, her wines have undergone a change: they have become not only an expression of the grapes and soil, but a deeper reflection of the place where they are grown!
