"Discover a Grand Muscadet, a wine bursting with vibrant, enchanting energy!"
"Terre de Pierre enchants us with its striking expressiveness; the salinity of this wine is absolutely invigorating. A style that is both classic and dynamic, which allows the wine to be cellared for more than ten years." (Le Guide RVF 2024).

Rated estate (2026 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
Pierre-Marie and Marie Luneau are one of the most dynamic couples in French viticulture. Their expertise on their 42-hectare vineyard and their knowledge are unmatched in the region. The vineyard is cultivated according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture, and the wines produced are great gastronomic wines, whose evolution over time is a model of its kind. Our tastings consistently place this estate at the top of the list.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100
About wine:
Terre de Pierre has a slightly floral nose, followed by a surprisingly rich and ripe palate with notes of apricot and diesel. The vines for this cuvée are located on the Butte de la Roche, the earliest site in the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation. The wine is aged partly in sandstone amphorae. On the palate, the wine flows smoothly and finishes with a characteristic hint of bitterness.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
Terre de Pierre enchants us with its striking expressiveness, and the salinity of this wine is absolutely invigorating. A style that is both classic and dynamic, allowing the wine to age for more than ten years.
About the estate:
Pierre and Monique Luneau-Papin left their mark on their generation by crafting great Muscadet wines. We owe them the magnificent Excelsior cuvée, a benchmark among Nantes whites for aging and a pioneer for the Goulaine communal vintage. Their son, Pierre-Marie, and his wife, Marie, are continuing the story and going even further in their quest to identify the terroirs. This is accurately reflected in all their wines, from Vera Cruz (quartz, mica schist and two-mica schist) to Gula-Ana (peridotite and serpentinite from the fabulous Roche hill, one of the most enchanting places in Muscadet). The wines are mainly aged in underground concrete vats lined with glass tiles, sometimes supported by amphorae for certain vintages. These 40 hectares of vines have been farmed biodynamically since 2019. A domain in great shape, delivering contemporary Muscadets that are distinctive, precise, and invigorating.
