Description

Product description for Luneau-Papin Terre de Pierre AOP 2022 (bio)

Info

This Muscadet Sevre et Maine is based on Melon de Bourgogne and comes from the registered vineyard La Butte de la Roche. The vines are planted on peridotite serpentinite on the Atlantic coast. The soil has magmatic origins from the Earth’s mantle. After the harvest, the whole grapes are processed in a pneumatic press. In the cool cellar, the must is fermented in concrete tanks, amphorae, and porcelain vessels.

Colour

Bright golden yellow with greenish reflections.

Nose

Terre de Pierre thrives equally on a fine, subtle Atlantic nobility and the noticeable accents of the yeast. Toasted brioche spread with salted butter creates a striking aromatic picture. It exhibits notes of mirabelle plums, ripe peaches, and yellow apples. From shortcrust pastry and a touch of cream slice to Bienenstich (bee sting). But all these excursions into the bakery by no means convey the impression of sweetness. It displays metallic nuances that are noticeably reminiscent of blood. Chopped almonds and ground hazelnuts emerge in the background. Dried herbs and some fresh seaweed spread throughout. Oyster shell and clear accents of sea spray underline its origins.

Palate

On the palate, the 2022 Terre de Pierre immediately impresses. It benefits from its melt and punch. Its dense mouthfeel is accentuated by abundant salt and minerality. With very moderate acidity, it nevertheless manages to be neither broad nor bland. Its stony character leaves several marks on it. The fruit has a balancing effect, while its herbal spiciness adds freshness and depth. On the finish, its melting side gently reappears. Wonderful. It soothes and challenges. A sophisticated wine, if you allow it. Or a casual drinking experience, if you prefer. It displays these two faces.
