🌿 Commitment and Terroir:
Domaine Luneau-Papin is one of the essential references in Muscadet. Established in Le Landreau for several generations, the estate has been certified organic since 2013 and biodynamic since 2019.
The Verger parcel rests on a base of schist and micaschist, which gives the wine its tension and mineral signature. Harvests are done manually, and fermentations start naturally thanks to indigenous yeasts present on the grapes.
This cuvée perfectly illustrates the new generation of great Muscadets: precise, complex, digestible, and capable of accompanying refined cuisine.
