Notes from the Importer: Jean-Baptiste Hardy took over just under four hectares of old vines from massale section, planted between 1950 and 1960 at the end of 2018 in the commune of Mouzillon (Muscadet). His first vintage premiered in 2020 with two single plot bottlings. Taking the reins at his parent’s estate in early 2022, he plans to apply his style of farming to an additional 10 ha over time and rent the rest of the vines.
