Gilbert Chon
Founded in 1719 and located in Saint Julien de Concelles (the beating heart of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine production), on the Atlantic coast where the Melon de Bourgogne grape is king producing crisp, clean and luscious wines thanks to extended lees ageing. The estate is now under the watchful eye of Jean-Gilbert Chon, who crafts several small, single-vineyard parcels including Clos de la Chapelle and Clos du Parc, as well as excellent Sauvignon Blanc (Le Haut Clos) and Cabernet Franc (Le Tristan) based-wines at a fraction of the price of nearby regions such as Sancerre and Bourgeuil. Without doubt one of the best in the business!
