From Luneau Papin's monopole, the Clos de l'Allée has a pale straw hue with aromas that delicately dance between salt and citrus. The palate is intricately laced with jasmine, orange blossom, lemon zest, pear sorbet, beach pebbles, and subtle spice. This storied plot was last planted in 1974. The Clos de l' Allée's 2.3 uninterrupted hectares are enclosed by paths which, in the late 18th century, formed the borders of three seigneuries (feudal lordships) which became the village of Le Landreau. The Cassini maps listed 75 owners at the time. Today, Luneau Papin tends it all. This Clos is adjacent to their winery and is the historical cradle of the Luneau family.
