Founded by Michel Brégeon and run today by Fred Lailler, this historic domaine helped to redefine Muscadet as we know it thanks to Michel's crusading efforts throughout his career. Over the years, he became an ardent defender of the Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine terroir, the most highly regarded of the seven appellations in the Pays Nantais. Thanks to his deep understanding of the nuances of the land, he played the game much differently than the region’s caves cooperatives and négociants, whose tendency to mass-produce threatened to destroy the appellation's reputation. For seven years, Michel worked for his family’s domaine before setting out on his own in 1975. When his father retired in 1989, he gave his remaining vineyard land to Michel. Today, the domaine comprises 8.5 hectares of vineyards in clay, silica, and gabbro soils. Gabbro is old, blueish-green, igneous rock, rarely found in vineyard land. Formed by magma solidified deep inside the Earth's crust, it is said to impart complexity, length, and intense minerality to the domaine’s wines. This corner of the Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine, Gorges, is particularly known for this soil, and all of the domaine's vines are planted in it. Gorges was among the first crus of the Sèvre-et-Maine appellation to be recognized in 2011.
