WTN: 2002 Luneau-Papin Muscadet Terroir de Schiste

2002 Luneau-Papin Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Terroir de Schiste Clos du Poyet - France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine (8/10/2008)
About as full bodied as a Muscadet can be. This had citrus and peach fruit, but more importantly a solid mineral backbone underlying a surprising textural richness. Still very young, but ever so enjoyable now.

Perhaps it is full bodied, but as you note the acidity, minerality, and focus are excellent. Such a lovely balance. I wish more wines could play this game.
