The palate is dense and long with ripe yellow and white fruits, almond and marzipan, really delicious, with the wine's unique granitic acidity hidden below, the sapid fruit. The finish is ripe, smoky, mineral and very long. The wine remains a good candidate for aging -  it's Luneau-Papin's only cuvee on a granit subsoil (granit a deux micas in Vallet) having a different character than the granit soils in Clisson or Chateau Thebaud. The vines are approximately 50 years old and and are farmed with certified organic and biodynamic methods. Vintages going back to 1989 of the L  d'Or are superb now but this very young 2022 would be perfect today with full-flavored fish dishes such as halibut and monkfish, or with lobster or white meats in sauce. \u003cem\u003eDavid Lillie  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Bowler Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46735702032609,"sku":"3471370285583","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/Luneau-PapinLd_Or.jpg?v=1754141708"},{"product_id":"parentiere-2023-muscadet-serve-et-maine-vieilles-vignes","title":"Parentière 2023 Muscadet Serve et Maine Vieilles Vignes","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichel and Guilhaume Ménager produce this lovely Musacdet on their tiny estate near Vallet, which they have tended organically for more than 40 years. The sub-soil is gabbro, a type of basalt, that gives a unique aromatic quality to the wine, quite different from wines produced on the normal granite or gneiss\/schiste soils of Muscadet. The Ménagers have always harvested by hand and never chaptalize, producing wines that are light, refreshing and very \"mineral\" in character. 2023 is an excellent vintage for Muscadet - the Parentiere Vieilles Vignes shows a bright pale gold color with very complex and fascinating aromas: meyer lemon, dried pear, white peach, with a bit of smoke and petrol typical of gabbro terroir. The palate is ripe and round but nicely balanced with minerals and bright acidity under the white and yellow fruits that continue in the refreshing, clean finish - and the low 11.5% alcohol gives this wine a delightful drinkability! Lovely as an aperitif, or even at a party, and a great pairing with any mild-flavored fish or poultry dish.

The bedrock is Granite de Château Thébaud, a fissured rock that allows the vines to penetrate deeply, with ideal thin topsoils of clay, with sand and gravel allowing good drainage.) Having enjoyed this wine in every vintage produced, I can safely say that 2025 is a wonderful year for Briords, lacking only the higher acidity of 1996 and 2014, for example, to put it in the very top rank. Tasted last February in France, the wine showed beautiful aromas of white flowers, white fruits, citrus and - if you could smell it - granit. The palate is quite round and ripe, at this point showing more fruit than terroir, but the minerals are certainly there along with complex herbal, citrus and stone flavors that continue in the round but nicely bright and bitter finish.
