Pierre-Marie et Marie Luneau - Muscadet Sèvre et Maine - Cyan White 2023

Wine:

Pure and refined, the 2023 White Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Cyan opens with delicate floral aromas lifted by a subtle smoky touch. The palate is sharp, tense, and precise, stretching into a zesty, mouthwatering finish that is both refreshing and highly drinkable. This is the perfect introduction to Muscadet — a wine to discover and fall in love with the appellation and its grape, Melon de Bourgogne, now enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight. Best served at the start of a meal for its dry, light, and unadorned style; it pairs beautifully with seafood, goat’s cheese, gougères, or a Comté soufflé. Awarded 93/100 and named a Selection Committee Favorite.

A true standard-bearer of the Loire Valley and awarded 2 stars by the French wine guide RVF, the Luneau-Papin family excels in crafting long-lived Muscadets that are precise, intimate, and brimming with freshness and intensity to rival the very best wines of the region.

Today, Pierre-Marie and Marie Luneau-Papin carry the story forward with remarkable energy, refining the identity of their terroirs through traditional aging in underground concrete vats and, at times, amphorae.

Biodynamics, rigor, and an eye for detail drive their highest ambitions and place the estate firmly at the top of Muscadet.
