    ‘Terre de Pierre’ from Domaine Pierre Luneau-Papin is a stunning expression of Muscadet with depth, energy, and minerality, sourced from the volcanic soils of the Butte de la Roche in the commune of Le Landreau. This cuvée represents a more structured, serious side of Melon de Bourgogne—tensile, textured, and age-worthy—without losing its essential clarity and maritime freshness. The name "Terre de Pierre" speaks to the wine's volcanic origin—giving it a more profound and structured profile than typical Muscadet.

    Our Tasting Note (2022):
    Again, here too, 2024 should be brighter a a little fresher as it was a cooler year than the following note we had on the 2022.
    A medium gold core, deeper than Grange which speaks to it longer elevage during vinification. A pronounced nose of ripe lemons, mandarins, ginger, saline, bread dough (long lees aging), a subtle spiciness, a faint smoky, earthy edge from the volcanic rich soils trails on at the end. Medium bodied, a touch more viscosity than the Grange, with mouthwatering med/med+ acidity.  Again a perfect palate showing a wine that ages for linger in the underground amphora vessels, this has a long, persistent intensity and beautiful length.
