2023 Chapeau Melon Rouge, Jérémie Huchet

Loire Valley, France

Bright ruby and bursting with life, this Loire red is light on its feet but full of charm. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and crushed herbs drift from the glass, with a hint of smoke and spice in the background. The palate is supple and silky, offering juicy red fruit framed by fine tannins and a refreshing lift of acidity. It’s vibrant, elegant and just the right amount of unbuttoned - the definition of easy sophistication.

For when: the playlist’s smooth and the candles are low.
Pairs with: charcuterie, roast chicken, or a simple tomato pasta.
If this wine were a friend, it’d always bring laughter and never stay too long.

Fourth-generation winemaker Jérémie Huchet is one of the Loire’s rising stars, crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines from his organic vineyards near Clisson. His Chapeau Melon range captures the Loire’s energy and precision in its purest, most approachable form. Farmed with care and made with minimal intervention, these wines balance bright fruit with fine structure and mineral freshness. The 2023 vintage is a joyful example of Loire red at its most modern, pure and effortlessly drinkable.

Jérémie Huchet is a fourth-generation winemaker making his mark in Muscadet. Having taken over the family estate in 2001, Jérémie immediately went about purchasing some fantastic vineyards (which now total 64 hectares), and is slowly converting everything to organic viticulture. Jérémie is absolutely committed to respecting Muscadet`s ancient traditions, better understanding each plot he works with, and making world-class wines. He describes his philosophy best. `The intelligence of the wine grower, from generation to generation, is his sense of observation. The endless walks he will take in his terroirs, the maintenance and the total respect for the microbic life of the soil, hand-harvesting, observing the age of the vine, the way it has been looked after, its replacement after its death. All these things must be done to maintain the integrity of the location.”
In the cellar he uses a combination of stainless steel vats and new underground concrete vats lined with glass, as well as concrete eggs. His white and red Chapeau wines are young wines meant for easy pleasure, while the clean, mineral L`Innatendu Muscadet is an excellent introduction to Jérémie`s vineyards and winemaking style.
