Domaine Luneau-Papin:
A story of transmission
Located in Le Landreau, 20 km from Nantes, south of the Loire, Domaine Luneau-Papin has 35 hectares of vines, which extend over the sunny slopes of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation.
In addition to these lands, there are 35 hectares dedicated to agriculture, including an orchard, and the breeding of a herd of Ouessant sheep.
The family of Pierre-Marie Luneau has its roots in this territory since the middle of the 17th century. A land made up of mica schist rocks, two-mica gneiss, granite, and peridotite, characterized by a serpentinite mound: the Butte de la Roche.
As for the plots of vines, they were planted by the great-grandparents, then the grandparents, then the parents of Pierre-Marie Luneau. A precious heritage, coupled with an innate sense of transmission over generations.
Marie and Pierre-Marie Luneau represent the ninth generation to have settled in the Nantes region. The domaine Luneau-Papin is named after the union of two centuries-old lines of winegrowers.
From the 1980s, as pioneers, Pierre and Monique Luneau – Pierre-Marie’s parents began pioneering work both in terms of the choice of winemaking plots and the valorization of the different Muscadet vintages, as well as in the export of vintages throughout the world.
Organic & Biodynamic Muscadet
In 2008, Marie and Pierre-Marie succeeded them.
They perpetuate the family tradition, with the desire to go further, dare, innovate, move to organic farming, then biodynamics.
The Domaine Luneau-Papin is divided into 28 plots. Each of them is harvested by hand, vinified, and aged separately while respecting the characteristics of each landscape, terroir and territory.
Each vintage bears the name of its plot.
