"Magnificent expression of terroir for this must-have "

Planted on granite soils, Melon de Bourgogne is magnified here. The result is a wine with an expressive, very fresh nose, in a profile that is both floral and fruity. Superbly balanced on the palate, with well-defined aromas, fine precision and a long finish. A must-have cuvee from the estate!

Wine rated (guide 2026) 93/100 (Vintage 2023)

Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

Pierre and Monique Luneau-Papin have left their mark on their generation by crafting great Muscadet wines. They are responsible for the magnificent Excelsior cuvée, a benchmark among Nantes whites for aging and a pioneer for the Goulaine communal cru. Their son, Pierre-Marie, and his wife, Marie, continue the story and go even further in their quest for terroir identity. These qualities are accurately reflected in all of their wines, from Vera Cruz (quartz, mica schists, and two-mica schists) to Gula-Ana (peridotite and serpentinite from the fabulous Butte de la Roche, one of the most captivating places in Muscadet). The wines are aged primarily in buried concrete vats lined with glass tiles, sometimes supported by amphorae for certain vintages. These 40 hectares of vines have been managed using biodynamic agriculture since 2019. A domain in great shape, delivering contemporary muscadets, at once distinctive, precise and invigorating.
