Description
In a nutshell:
A benchmark, organic, Muscadet from one of the best producers of the western Loire.
The lowdown:
The lower Loire valley south east of Nantes is home to Muscadet, France's famous seafood friendly wine. This superior example from Luneau-Papin is one that should help you put your prejudices about thin and tart examples of this style to one side. Ather spending time on its lees it's bottled without filtration or fining which helps the flavour profile no end. Dry, crisp and mineral, as it should be, there's a generosity and richness that marks it out as a cut above the norm. It's going down the road to a taut and steely Chablis, but without the price tag.
The Producer:
Domaine Luneau-Papin started making superb Muscadet back in the 1970s and over the years has become recognized as on the leading exponents in the lower Loire. They keeps a variety of thoroughbred Muscadets in their stable, terroir differentiation being the name of the game. The vines may be grown on sands and gravel, on granite and gneiss mica, schist or volcanic gabbro, but the mineral, salty nuances are always present and the capacity to age built into the steely structure of the wines. Pierre-Marie Luneau-Papin, son of the founders, and his wife Marie are now the driving forces of the domaine and keeping to the high standards achieved by their parents.
When to drink:
This wonderfully well made wine might just change your opinion about what Muscadet is capable of. A perfect wine to have on hand for seafood, oysters and the like and it's also great pre-meal nibbles and canapes, or just by itself.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
