🍷 Le Verger – Domaine Luneau-Papin

AOP Muscadet Sèvre et Maine: The Purity of Melon de Bourgogne on Schist

Le Verger 2024 from Domaine Luneau-Papin is an emblematic single-vineyard cuvée from the Nantes vineyard. Produced from a family plot located in La Chapelle-Heulin, this Muscadet precisely reveals the expression of Melon de Bourgogne on schist and micaschist soils.

Certified organic and biodynamic, this wine is made with indigenous yeasts and then aged for a long time on its lees to preserve all the richness of the terroir. It seduces with its freshness, mineral tension, and a particularly elegant saline finish.

🌿 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.
