« Excelsior Cru Communal Goulaine » Domaine Pierre Luneau Papin White wine ● Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine
2018 75clExcelsior 2012 17/20 This wine comes from a 2.30 ha parcel of 80-year-old vines located in La Chapelle-Heulin. Excelsior 2012 was aged on lees for only 24 months, as everything was in place in this precocious wine. Taut and spicy, it offers great charm and potential. Its complex, sharp white pepper finish is magnificent. Creamy and lemony, the 2010 (16.5/20) combines finesse and freshness. Firm, precise and tight, the 2007 (16.5/20) is still taut and very young. 2005 (17/20) will enchant you with its notes of quince and yellow fruit, while 2002 (17/20) stands out with its minty freshness and spicy, invigorating sap. RVF Guide vert 2017 "The Excelsior cuvée, made from micaschists from the Goulaine communal cru, aged on lees for 36 months, declines minerality at its noblest, with spicy notes and absolute complexity. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 are among the most successful in the sector". Bettane & Desseauve Guide 2017
