Jérôme Bretaudeau of Domaine de Bellevue is a visionary force in the western Loire, constantly expanding the region's possibilities. The "Ornaté" cuvée is a thrilling provocation—a 100% Merlot grown on sloped granite and quartz soils near Gétigné, capturing a cool-climate, ocean-influenced expression of the grape. Farmed biodynamically and harvested by hand, the grapes are completely destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts before aging in older French oak barrels. The result is a lithe, energetic wine that trades heavy extraction for purity, delivering vibrant notes of dark plum, subtle herbs, and a crystalline, saline minerality. Varietal: Merlot Appellation: Vin de France (Loire Valley), France Farming: Certified Biodynamic Style: Red. Dry, mineral-driven and energetic
