The taut, high-acid one — and at nineteen years old it still tastes startlingly young. Luneau-Papin, in Le Landreau, is one of the greatest addresses in Muscadet — up there with Pépière, Bregeon and Landron — and "L d'Or" is the family's flagship: old vines on a narrow vein of granite and two-mica gneiss off the Armorican Massif, native-yeast fermented and left unracked on its fine lees in underground glass-tiled vats before bottling sur lie. Low alcohol, high natural acidity, no oak and long lees contact are why this cuvée has been the appellation's reference point for ageing since the late 1990s. 2007 was a hard year in the Loire: a freakishly warm April pushed flowering early, then a cold, wet, mildew-ridden summer nearly took the crop before a fine September rescued it. What survived gave dry whites of very clean flavour and unusually high acidity, and that is exactly this bottle — the most linear and mineral wine of the five, closer to classic young Muscadet than to a mature white. It has years left. Serve cool with something briny.

"The 2007 Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie L d'Or is aging with real grace, evoking aromas of herbs, menthol, orchard fruits and spring flowers. Juicy and vibrant, the palate is perfectly balanced with a moderately weighted structure and a saline, penetrating finish." —Yohan Castaing

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

This is the oyster bottle of the group — raw shellfish, clams, or a plateau de fruits de mer. Equally at home with sushi, ceviche or fried smelts with lemon.

Tasting Profile

Pale gold with green glints. Lemon peel, green apple, crushed stone and a faint smoky-flinty note. Light to medium-bodied, lean and straight, with bracing acidity and a fine lees texture. Bone-dry, saline, and long.
