Domaine Pierre Luneau-Papin - Terre de Pierre - Butte de la Roche 2008
Note: Gerbelle & Maurange "The Best Wines at Affordable Prices 2010" 15/20
Terre de Pierre is a brand-new cuvée, produced from a plot in the "LA Butte de la Roche" vineyard, which was brought back into cultivation in 2008. This is, therefore, a first vintage, born from a rare terroir of weathered serpentinite. A wine with citrus notes, refined and elegant, expressing its full minerality in a pure “stone juice.” A promising new cuvée to discover now and watch for in the future!

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Pierre and Monique Luneau-Papin left their mark on their generation by crafting exceptional Muscadet wines. We owe them the magnificent Excelsior cuvée, a benchmark among age-worthy Nantes whites and a pioneer for the Goulaine village wine. Their son, Pierre-Marie, and his wife, Marie, are continuing the legacy and taking their quest to uncover the terroir’s identity even further. 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 Butte de la Roche, one of the most enchanting sites in Muscadet). The wines are aged primarily in underground concrete tanks lined with glass tiles, with amphorae occasionally used for certain vintages. These 40 hectares of vineyards have been cultivated using biodynamic farming methods since 2019. A thriving estate, producing contemporary Muscadets that are distinctive, precise, and invigorating.
