2022 Domaine Luneau Papin, Terre de Pierre, Muscadet Sèvre & Maine

A fine, mineral-driven Muscadet with vibrant citrus flavors and lush mouthfeel. Longer aging on the lees in glass lined tanks gives this wine great texture and body. The wine comes from a high elevation vineyard and the soil contains serpentine rock (featured on the label), a rare find so close to the surface.

Village of Le Loroux-Bottereau. Vines planted in 1974.

Mother rock of peridotite (from the earth's mantle) on a serpentinite mound.

The magmatic origins of this place bursting with history give vibrant energy to "La Butte de la Roche" where this plot is located. The red ochre earth of "La Butte de la Roche» is legendary in the Pays Nantais. The seigneuries once had their castle here on this, land full of stories into which our vines plunge their roots.
