Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically grown hand-picked grapes which are vinified with little or no intervention. Winemakers often rely on indigenous yeast to catalyse natural fermentation, avoiding the use of any chemicals, additives or sulphites.
The result is wine which is alive, energetic, vibrant and unexpected – a welcomed contrast to the industrial practices of the wine industry.

Terroir
L'Or is predicted to keep for more than fifteen years, a white wine of great richness held together by a saline purity. The range of Domaine Luneau-Papin is rich, because the objective remains to reveal each parcel and its terroir, always thanks to this famous neutral grape variety, the blotter of the terroir. The soils are very varied and complex, sometimes dominated by gneiss, granite, schist, peridotite or even serpentinite
