Domaine Luneau Papin
Visit Domaine Luneau-Papin is located 20 kilometers south of Nantes on the Loire River. The vineyards of Domaine Luneau-Papin covers 40 hectares of vines on the sunny hillsides of Sèvre et Maine. Succeeding Pierre and Monique Luneau, Pierre-Marie and Marie, the estate's 9th generation of winemakers, are now following in their predecessors' footsteps. They perpetuate the family tradition by growing the Muscadet de Terroir for which the estate is renowned, and selling only their own harvest. Visit Domaine Luneau-PapinEach plot is harvested by hand, vinified and matured separately, respecting the authenticity of each terroir, each one worked like a "garden". The 12 distinctive cuvées produced are tangible proof of this. 

The entire vineyard of Domaine Luneau-Papin has been certified organic and biodynamic since 2019 (Demeter) and planted with the "Melon" grape variety from Burgundy, also known as "Muscadet". This Muscadet has found its ideal soil here, made up of micaschist and gneiss rocks with two micas, granite, peridotite in a serpentinite mound, altered schists... Today, Domaine Luneau-Papin exports 40% of its production worldwide and sells 35% of its wines to French restaurants (including a hundred Michelin-starred establishments).

Produced from a parcel in the locality known as "La Butte de la Roche", this white is vibrantly energetic. Concentrated ripe fruit meets minerality in a lively, complex mouthfeel. This cuvée is perfect with scallops in season, langoustines à la plancha with seaweed tartar, or sashimi and sushi. A great Muscadet!

"One of the region's most accomplished cuvées".

"Only produced in 2005 and 2009, this cuvée was aged 32 months on lees, and now delivers a discreet bouquet but a rich, full-bodied, sun-drenched substance. The richest of the cuvées is the perfect accompaniment to roast monkfish." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France - RVF) All Luneau-Papin know-how in bottle, aged for 32 months!
