Tasting Note:
Le Verger is Muscadet with depth and quiet power—saline, textured, and built around mineral precision. Aromas of lemon peel, green apple, and white flowers are layered with sea spray and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s taut yet supple, with citrus and orchard fruit framed by a chalky, savory core. Extended lees aging adds breadth and a subtle nutty nuance without blunting freshness. The finish is long, dry, and mouthwatering, marked by iodine and stone.

About the Producer:
Domaine Luneau-Papin is one of Muscadet’s benchmark estates, led by Pierre-Marie and Marie Luneau, who farm biodynamically in the heart of the Sèvre et Maine. Their approach emphasizes soil expression, long élevage on lees, and minimal intervention. Le Verger is a unique solera-style Muscadet, blending multiple vintages to build complexity and consistency while preserving the region’s hallmark salinity and tension. It’s a reference point for serious, age-worthy Melon de Bourgogne.
