Jerome Bretaudeau Domaine de Bellevue Pinot Noir Statera 2023 CS20230718 Native yeastsPinot Noir in Muscadet sounds like a fever dream, but Jerome Bretaudeau plants it on granite and pink and white quartz and the results are stunning. Statera (Latin for balance) is delicate, perfumed, and silky, with the texture of fine Burgundy filtered through a distinctly Loire prism. Biodynamic farming, indigenous yeast fermentation, aging in barrel with minimal sulfur, no fining or filtration. Production is tiny and the wine is in serious demand
