Luneau Papin, La Grange, 2022

RICH AND MINERAL MELON DE BOURGOGNE

100% Melon de Bourgogne, to the eye, this wine seems to shine from within. An opulent palate which then introduce a mix of ripe melon and crisp apple. The impact of the soil is abundantly obvious as it gives a fantastic mineral structure to the wine. Its purity of flavour, fine weight, and freshness make for a superb aperitif. 

Cellaring: Drink now or in the next 2 years. 

Food Pairing: Superb with oysters or on its own as an aperitif. 

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

Traditional production methods are followed here: juice was separated from gross lees, fermented for four weeks, and aged on fine lees in stainless steel for seven months. Minimal oxidation was permitted, and the finished wine was bottled the following spring.

Domaine Luneau Papin, stemming from the 17^th century now in its 9^th generation incarnation is a certified organic and bio-dynamic producer, factors that are indicators of excellence but no guarantee.  In the case of this Domaine,  we can confirm that their Muscadets comfortably occupy the space of ‘Best in Class’,  in our view their Muscadets are as good as they get.  Pierre Luneau-Papin and his wife Marie now carry the baton for the family as they carefully etch out the Melon de Bourgogne grapes from their historic, site-specific vineyards and craft their highly acclaimed wines. Read more.
