Tasting Notes
"Arguably the superior of the Luneau-Papin’s two cru communal cuvées, this comes from a single parcel of vines named La Plécisière in La Chapelle-Heulin, south of the Butte de la Roche and the Marais de Goulaine, illustrating the broad expanse of this cru. The soils are schist and micaschist, and the vinification was in subterranean cuve, with 24 months élevage. This has a simply wonderful nose, all smoked citrus fruits, mineral and fresh. The palate builds on this good beginning with considerable substance, breadth and poise, layers of crushed apple and pear, lightly dried fruits and minerals, as well as fresh acidity keeping it lively. This is delicious, impressive now, but it will be even better with a few more years bottle age." - Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor
