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, fermented with native yeasts and left unracked on their fine lees in underground glass-tiled vats before bottling sur lie. Low alcohol, high natural acidity, no oak and long lees contact are precisely what let these wines go twenty years, which is why the cuvée has been a benchmark for ageworthy Muscadet since the late 1990s. 2006 was a vigneron's vintage: a hot July, then September rain that swept the western Loire and punished anyone who hesitated. Pierre Luneau picked fast and got his fruit in clean, and the result is rounder and softer-edged than its neighbours — less tension, more mellow orchard fruit, drinking beautifully right now rather than waiting. Serve cool, not cold, and give it a big glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Bowler Wine [DBW]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46368392970297,"sku":"NYC-W-DBW-`DBW`-081826-3","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Luneau-Papin-Muscadet-Sevre-et-Maine-L-DOr-2006-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1788273630","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/luneau-papin-muscadet-sevre-et-maine-l-dor-2006","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
