Pretty sure we tasted Guy Bossard’s 2009s in barrel in January of 2011, we were WAY late for our appointment that day (drove 90 minutes in the morning from our B&B near Chinon, started at Luneau-Papin, then lunch (which took seemingly forever), which in turn made us late for our visit to Marc Ollivier at Domaine de La Pepiere. After a great (albeit long) visit with Marc, he was then kind enough to call Guy for us to tell him the 3 idiot Americans who were his 4:00 pm appointment would hopefully make it by 5:00-5:30 pm. Guy was nothing if forgiving and gracious, he had a young Dutch gentleman there when we arrived, Fred Niger, who we found out later was in negotiations to buy Domaine de l’Ecu from Guy, which DID happen (and Fred and his wife still own the estate). Domaine de l’Ecu had already been biodynamic for some time (and remains so), and was maybe the first of the Muscadet producers to do so (???). This wine, the top end Granite cuvée, is still quite alive, but it’s time to drink up. Fun times wine tasting in Muscadet in January of 2011!!! — 2 days ago

Vintage 2007 | My goodness. Chaume is such a privileged location. And happily... one that a lot of people do not know yet. Claude Papin is a top winegrower. Mahony colour. Deep mahony. A smell with figs and honey. Lavendel honey. Awesome balanced taste. A Chenin Blanc that belongs to the top of the world. | Paired with duck liver from Hofstede de Blaak — 6 years ago

Another great bottle of this cuvée, still showing a ripe tropical fruit (pineapple?) note, consistent notes from my last 2 or 3 posts on this great Muscadet!! — 2 years ago

Aged Muscadet. More complex than expected. Citrus, white fruit on a intense frame of acid and minerals. Refreshing and perfect pairing with pan sautéed halibut. — 4 years ago

Beautiful deep golden amber color bordering on orange. Fragrant floral tropical fruits carrying through to Ann untuous sweet palate and long finish. Actually paired well with the mixed meats meal with chili chunks from Momofuku. AA14 — 6 years ago

Vintage 2018 | Owh, this is good wine, said my wife. She is a great taster without knowing it. We drank this lovely Muscadet with a veal oyster on day one and a duckpate on nut bread on day two. The wine adapts effortlessly. — 7 months ago

Well-aged Bordeaux superieur that punched above its weight given the age, excellent with ribs. — a year ago

2022 vintage. The "Pierre-Marie & Marie Luneau" label covers a series of wines from grapes by partner growers, whereas the estate wines come under the Luneau-Papin label. This organic Muscadet, from vines planted in 1950 and 1987 on granite soils, was harvested by the Luneau-Papin team and vinified in their cellars. Bright, crisp white fruit, fresh and seductive with the typical Muscadet saltiness. Terrific value for less than 10 euros. Abv. 13%. — 2 years ago

Really like this muscadet. Totally quaffable. All the acidity and minerality I want in an every day white. — 4 years ago

Nice crisp acidity, fairly sweet-tart (passionfruit!!!). Maybe best on its own or with light aperitivo on a hot day. — 6 years ago
