2024 Chapeau Melon Blanc, Jérémie Huchet

Loire Valley, France

Pale straw with a glint of green, this Loire white is all about freshness and flow. The nose bursts with citrus, white peach and green apple, layered with a gentle hint of blossom and wet stone. On the palate, it’s bright, zesty and mouth-watering with crisp fruit balanced by a clean, saline finish that keeps you coming back for more. Light, lively and quietly sophisticated, it’s Loire sunshine in a glass.

For when: you’ve clocked off early and the evening’s wide open.
Pairs with: oysters, sushi, or a crisp green salad with goat’s cheese.
If this wine were a mood, it’d be barefoot, laughing, and exactly where it needs to be.

Crafted by Jérémie Huchet, one of the Loire Valley’s most dynamic young winemakers, Chapeau Melon Blanc showcases the easy charm of Muscadet with a touch of modern flair. Farmed organically on the granite soils of Clisson, the grapes are harvested at peak freshness and vinified naturally to capture purity and precision. The 2024 vintage shines with Huchet’s signature balance - crisp, mineral and effortlessly drinkable, proving that simplicity, done well, can be seriously good.

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.
