Claude Branger works with Melon de Bourgogne in Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine, the Loire Valley's historic white wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on three expressions of this Atlantic-facing terroir: Château Thébaud, Le Fils des Gras Moutons, and Monnières-Saint Fiacre. Each captures the mineral precision and saline character that define the appellation—Melon's high acidity and delicate stone-fruit profile shaped by schist soils and maritime influence. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have all assessed the range. The Château Thébaud bottling stands as the flagship, demonstrating the depth possible from this often-underestimated variety when site and craft align.
