"A great way to start!
Planted on schist, Melon de Bourgogne produces a wine of great finesse and purity. Crisp, dry and mineral, Le Verger is also rich and generous: a Luneau-Papin trademark.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2021 guide) 89/100 (Vintage 2019)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Pierre and Monique Luneau-Papin have left their mark on their generation, chiseling out great Muscadet wines. In particular, they produced the magnificent Cuvée Excelsior, a benchmark among Nantes' long-keeping whites, and a pioneer for the cru communal de Goulaine. Their son, Pierre-Marie, and his wife, Marie, are continuing the story with exceptional energy, going even further in their quest for terroir identity. These are aptly reflected in all their wines, from Vera Cruz (quartz, micaschist and two-mica schist) to Gula-Ana (peridotite and serpentinite from the fabulous Butte de la Roche, one of the most bewitching places in Muscadet). The wines are aged mainly in underground concrete vats lined with glass tiles, sometimes backed up by amphorae for certain vats. These 40 hectares of vines have been organically farmed since 2019. An estate in top form, delivering contemporary Muscadets that are at once distinctive, precise and invigorating.
