Sèvre Et Maine, Pays Nantais

Domaine Pierre Luneau-Papin

Le Verger Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Tiré Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2018

A few years ago before a short trip to Nantes, @Peter van den Besselaar pointed me in the direction of this producer of Muscadet. “Put it in your cellar and forget about it!” he said. I bought 6 bottles of each of the single “vineyards” varieties (they are called different there) and the only thing is….. it should have been 12 or 18 or….. what a fantastic wines they produce, mineral, acid, full bodied. And the PQR is outstanding. They go (as Muscadet should) with fruits de mer, with steamed mussels or simply alone! — 3 days ago

La Pepie Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2023

Bright and dry, slightly effervescent at first opening. Notes of melon and stone fruit, but very light. We had it with scallops sauteed in butter and it was lovely. — 4 months ago

Clisson Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2009

Lemon and honey, stony minerality, great acid and depth on the palate, even at age 16 this has lots of life left in it (5-10 more years), very long, lingering finish, great Muscadet!! — 4 days ago
