Domaine de Bellevue is an organic and biodynamic domaine in the Pays Nantais that is forging a modern path for Muscadet through creative winemaking, fearless experimentation and true passion thanks to Jérôme Bretaudeau. This westernmost part of the Loire is known primarily for Atlantic breezes and granite soils that help create high acid wines from Melon de Bourgogne. Domaine de Bellevue was certified organic in 2012. A later conversion to biodynamic principles led to certification from Biodyvin in 2020. Yet Jérôme still plays by his own rules. Because of his freestyle experimentation with various ageing periods, vessels and grape varieties, almost all his wines are sold as Vin De France. Many have developed cult-like followings abroad and are difficult to secure most years.
