The ‘Vera Cruz’ cuvée from Domaine Pierre Luneau-Papin is a textural, mineral-driven white wine that highlights the depth and ageability possible from Melon de Bourgogne when sourced from select parcels and handled with patience. Grown on mica-schist soils in a single vineyard near Le Landreau, this wine is a complex and expressive Muscadet, showing both elegance and intensity.  The Vera Cruz cuvée showcases the estate’s more serious, age-worthy style. It’s organically farmed and made with minimal intervention, allowing the terroir to speak clearly.

Tom's Tasting Note: Pale gold core with a silvery star bright hue. Medium+ aromas of lemons, limes, green apple, and floral spring white peach, mineral notes of crushed stones, salinity, some garden herbs, and a dab of leesy brioche richness. The medium bodied palate balances brisk acidity with a creamy, lees-derived richness, the palate intensity is med+, perfectly balanced and persistent. The most “Chablis-like” structure of the 4 wines - you really feel and tastes the salty lift and a granite-like grip. Long and precise, with lingering citrus, crushed rock, and a hint of almond skin. The finish is mouthwatering and saline, drawing you back in. Outstanding!
