Pierre-Marie and Marie Luneau head this 39 hectare family estate in Le Landreau, a village in the heart of Muscadet country.  Since taking over from his father, Pierre, in 2011 Pierre-Marie became the ninth generation winemaker. The Luneau family opted for producing many smaller cuvées from their several plots, which are always vinified separately so as to reflect their terroir’s particular character.  This wine comes from a single parcel of the same name, 'Le Verger', meaning the Orchard. The Luneau family are pioneers in this regard and still amongst the only producers in Muscadet to bottle single vineyard expressions of their land since the 1980's.  This wine is fresh but mouth coating.  Flavors of lemon, white flowers, and orchard fruits compliment the vibrant salinity of this delightful wine.
