Tasting notes
From the very first whiff, the 2019 Gaïa from Jerôme Bretaudeau has surprisingly compelling scents of menthol, mint, white fruits, butter and minerals. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced, seamless and concentrated, layered and deep, it has a delicate, exquisite texture that segues into a tense, crystalline finish with aromas of licorice and lemon oil. It will offer a broad drinking window.

The 2019 Gaïa is a bit of a Muscadet anomaly in that it is biodynamically grown and is fermented and matured in concrete egg. It's a rich style with a high level of intensity. Having gone through malolactic, it has a soft and full mouthfeel. The finish is salty and citrussy with a fine element of bitterness and nutty savory character. In a blind tasting, I'd probably have mistaken it for a Chenin Blanc, but that doesn't make it any less valid.
