Lunch with Emery D. in Chinon

That sounds like a great time, Santiago, as well as great wines. Luneau-Papin and Baudry find favor with several of us Loire-heads here on afw, in part because they are reliably imported by Louis/Dressner to the US. Speaking of such matters, do you know Marc Ollivier's Dom. de Pepiere in Muscadet? He's just released a new Muscadet, the '05 Granite de Clisson, made from a special site. On the basis of his other wines, I have very high hopes for this one.

Mark,

no I have not tasted this wine by Marc Olivier, mostly because it is no imported into Spain. In fact, an import company that sometimes relies on my opinion to decide what to import, substituted wines by Marc Olivier by those of Pierre Luneau, not only because I have a long track with the wines of Luneau-Papin but because in the last Salon d'Angers in February, I preferred LP to MO by a mile. I know MO has a great basis of loyal customers, but I usually find a distracting component in their wines.

Sorry Matt, must be my age !!!!!!
