"Straightforward attack, finely crafted salty finish, everything comes together to make this vintage the perfect accompaniment to a salad of langoustines with citrus fruits." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) Made from old Melon de Bourgogne vines planted on the schist soils of Landreau, this Muscadet sur lies reveals a controlled, almost tender citrus acidity that makes it easy to drink. A classic!

About the estate:
Pierre and Monique Luneau-Papin left their mark on their generation by crafting great Muscadet wines. We owe them the magnificent Excelsior cuvée, a benchmark among Nantes whites for aging and a pioneer for the Goulaine communal vintage. Their son, Pierre-Marie, and his wife, Marie, are continuing the story and going even further in their quest to identify the terroirs. This is accurately reflected in all their wines, from Vera Cruz (quartz, mica schist and two-mica schist) to Gula-Ana (peridotite and serpentinite from the fabulous Roche hill, one of the most enchanting places in Muscadet). The wines are mainly aged in underground concrete vats lined with glass tiles, sometimes supported by amphorae for certain vintages. These 40 hectares of vines have been farmed biodynamically since 2019. A domain in great shape, delivering contemporary Muscadets that are distinctive, precise, and invigorating.
