2010 Domaine Luneau-Papin Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie Terre de Pierre Butte de la Roche
Community Tasting Note
Putnam Weekley Likes this wine:
Tuesday, April 23, 2024 - 2010 (detroit): This leads with a particularly piercing, icy chime of stone—minty and translucent. That's the sort of element I might expect to catabolize in two years, and not appear without precedent. The rest of the drinking experience is properly curved, transparently flavored, and cured. Beds of saltmarsh brulée, thriving coastal grasses, and oyster-shell sugars flap forwardly aloft, weightless. The dramatic contest here consists of illuminated breeziness meeting fallen nut fats. Botanical rumors mock the upper registers, consisting of apricot, pome, cardamom, piñon, green lemon blossom, tea buds, and flooded gravel. Aspirated dryness. Elegant contours. Mannered emotional austerity. More Champagne should taste like this.

4/23/2024 2:44:00 PM - I'm just returning from a satisfying read of all the notes posted here (CT) on this vintage. The whole userbase gets an a+ ... no trolls, no stans, just—real. Here were words I saw used there: anistones; diesel; licorice; quinine; apricot skin; waxed lemons; gun flint; don’t touch. I agree with all of them!
