Taking over 10 hectares of vines from the family estate to set up his own winery, Mickaël Salmon launched his venture in 2019 with a clear vision: conversion to organic farming, ageing on lees in suitable vessels (glazed cement vats, ceramic jars, clay eggs, oak demi-muids, etc.), no stirring to preserve the wines’ full freshness, and bottling without filtration and under inert gas. From his very first vintages, Lucas Salmon has been among the rising stars of Muscadet, an appellation undergoing a revival. Featured in the 2027 edition of the Revue du Vin de France guide: “His wines retain the classic style and integrity that define the greatness of the Muscadet appellation, whilst embracing a freer, more contemporary approach”.

Le Fief Cognard is made entirely from Folle Blanche, a mass selection of old vines planted between 1949 and 1977, showcasing the vigour and liveliness of this grape variety, beautifully refined by 10 months’ ageing in clay eggs.

Terroirs comes from two plots of young vines (7 and 10 years old), Les Brosses from the old vines (25 to 75 years old) of the vineyard, and Les Enfermures, a selection from a plot planted in 1950. These wines are crisp and lively, with citrus notes and a vibrant minerality. What’s more, the value for money of these three wines is outstanding!
