Muscadet "Terre de Pierre", Luneau-Papin - 2019

Item # 38504 750mL

A fine, mineral-driven Muscadet with vibrant citrus flavors and lush mouthfeel. Longer aging on the lees in glass lined tanks gives this wine great texture and body. The wine comes from a high elevation vineyard and the soil contains serpentine rock (featured on the label), a rare find so close to the surface.

Staff Pick Notes

If you are a lover of Muscadet, like I am, you will love this wine from the western side of the Loire Valley in the Pays Nantes. It comes from a single parcel of land, Butte de la Roche, a geological landmark with a rare soil type of Serpentinite. This volcanic rock made it to the surface after millions of years of earthquakes and is only found in some wine-growing regions in Washington State and here in the western Loire (the label shows a close up of a large piece of Serpentinite rock). The wine sees 17 months on the lees, which adds a wonderful, rounded texture to this normally austere, mineral-forward wine. Notes of orchard fruits, citrus, brioche, and a salty minerality make this wine an ideal pairing for Connecticut-style lobster rolls with lots of butter!

Glossary

Melon de Bourgogne

Muscadet

The coolest (temperature-wise) of the Loire Valley appellations, this region is most famous for its bracingly dry, seafood-friendly whites. Made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape (virtually unheard of in the rest of the world), these refreshing wines are idyllic partners for oysters or mussels.

Loire

There’s a lot to remember when it comes to the Loire. Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.
