Domaine Luneau-Papin Clisson Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Cru

Muscadet Sèvre et Maine AOC, France

Clisson is Muscadet's most prestigious Cru — its granite-rich soils producing wines of the greatest mineral depth and longevity in the appellation. Luneau-Papin's Clisson is aged for 3+ years on its lees before release: pale gold with complex aromas of hazelnut, preserved lemon, beeswax, and granite mineral. The palate is broad and textured with the grip and depth to age for 15–20 years.

Pairing intelligence

• amuse: The wine's iodine-mineral character is exactly calibrated for sea urchin's intense oceanic salinity — one of France's most precise terroir-food connections
• main: Aged Clisson's textural richness and mineral complexity can support the luxury of Brittany lobster — the wine's hazelnut and beeswax development mirrors the butter preparation
