Domaine Luneau-Papin is a longtime family estate in the Muscadet Sèvre & Maine appellation, now led by Pierre-Marie Luneau and Marie Papin. L d'Or comes from a historic parcel in the village of Vallet, planted to Melon de Bourgogne in 1984. The vineyard sits over granite and two-mica gneiss, a distinctive site that has been part of the Luneau family for generations. The 2023 was fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, then aged for 21 months without racking, divided equally between Austrian oak foudre, Italian terracotta amphora and an underground concrete tank lined with glass tiles. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit are joined by subtle floral and savory notes, with a broad texture balanced by bright acidity. A pronounced saline, mineral character carries through the long finish. Varietal: Melon de Bourgogne Appellation: Muscadet Sèvre & Maine, Loire Valley, France Farming: Certified Organic and Biodynamic Style: White. Textured, saline and mineral
