Description

Product description for Luneau-Papin L d’Or AOP 2022 (bio)

This Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine, made from the Melon de Bourgogne variety, comes from a vineyard planted in 1984 in the village of Vallet. The vineyard is characterized by granite from the Landreau region in the upper part of the vineyard and gneiss with inclusions of mica from the Armoricain massif in the lower part. The hand-harvested grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press, with the force and duration of pressing adapted to the respective vintage. This was followed by spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, followed by fermentation and aging on the lees in underground, glass-lined cement cuvées for seven months. No racking until bottling.

Colour

Intense straw yellow

Nose

The L d’Or offers a seductive blend of the finest cream and yeast notes, fruit, and flowers. The Muscadet is exceptionally elegant and slightly reminiscent of Alsatian Riesling from Granit. This vintage is dominated by notes of yellow apples and yellow plums, a hint of quince, white peach, a touch of currant, candied lemon, and salt.

Palate

On the palate, the L’Or is equally elegant and refined, with ripe, yellow fruit saturated with salt and tangy, tart, zesty notes. Typical of Granit is the acidity, which initially appears round and ripe, but then gradually gains momentum and is accompanied by a vibrant minerality. The wine is long and finely crafted. It certainly has the potential to age for a decade.
