Produced by Domaine de Bellevue, this cuvée has greatly contributed to evolving the image of Muscadet to that of a great terroir white wine capable of competing with the finest French expressions of the grape variety.
Located in Gétigné, near Clisson, Jérôme Bretaudeau works his vines with remarkable precision and a deeply respectful approach to nature. His goal is simple: to reveal the identity of each plot without masking the natural expression of the terroir.
The Gabbro cuvée takes its name from the magmatic rock present in its subsoil. This rare geological feature gives the wine a unique personality, marked by remarkable mineral tension and depth.

The modern Muscadet has little in common with the sometimes reductive image it has long been associated with. Some terroir cuvées today demonstrate a remarkable ability to gain complexity and accompany the finest tables.
Gabbro perfectly illustrates this evolution. Its profile combines aromatic richness, natural freshness, and mineral depth.
On the nose, the wine reveals notes of ripe citrus, fresh apple, pear, and white flowers. With aeration, more complex nuances of flint, oyster shell, dried fruits, and delicate spices emerge.
The palate impresses with its tension. The body remains ample but is perfectly balanced by a persistent salty freshness that extends the tasting experience with elegance.
This ability to combine power and precision explains why this cuvée is now among the great white wines of the Loire.
The success of the Jérôme Bretaudeau Muscadet is based on a rare combination of an exceptional terroir, a historic grape variety, and a demanding production philosophy.
The grape variety used is Melon de Bourgogne, the emblematic variety of Muscadet.
The vines destined for the Gabbro cuvée are planted on soils of magmatic rock, which are particularly rare in the region. This specific geology plays a crucial role in the wine's identity.
The roots penetrate deeply into the subsoil and ensure a regular supply to the vines. This planting promotes concentration, balance, and mineral expression.
The result is a precise, tense wine with remarkable length on the palate.
For several years, Jérôme Bretaudeau has been actively participating in the qualitative renewal of Muscadet.
The Jérôme Bretaudeau Muscadet benefits from organic and biodynamic viticulture combined with controlled yields and a rigorous selection of grapes.
The fermentations occur naturally, and prolonged aging allows the wine to gain depth without losing its freshness.
This artisanal philosophy gives rise to cuvées that reflect their terroir with great clarity.
To better understand the Loire terroirs and their specifics, the official site of InterLoire offers many resources on the Loire appellations.
To fully enjoy the qualities of Gabbro, a temperature between 10 and 12°C is recommended.
A slight aeration allows the wine to reveal all its aromatic complexity. In its youth, a few minutes in a large glass are usually enough to open the bouquet.
Serving in a wide tasting glass enhances the expression of the mineral notes and the characteristic texture of the wine.
Thanks to its remarkable structure, this cuvée can be enjoyed today or kept for several years in the cellar.
The depth and freshness of the wine allow it to accompany a wide range of gastronomic offerings.
Oysters, langoustines, lobster, turbot, or scallops create particularly harmonious pairings thanks to the wine's salty tension.
Vegetable preparations, delicate sauces, or certain Asian cuisines perfectly highlight its aromatic precision.
Some aged goat cheeses as well as lightly powerful pressed cheeses offer particularly elegant pairings.
