Muscat de Lunel is an appellation for the naturally Sweet wines of the town of Lunel, on the eastern edge of the Languedoc region in Southern France. As the name suggests, these wines are made from one of the many varieties of Muscat Grapes - in this case, Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. The grapes must have a sugar content of 252 grams per litre. Wine Alcohol is added to the grape must in a ratio of between 10:1 and 20:1.
The Final alcohol should be 15-18% by Volume. Although the wines are not as famous as those of Frontignan, the town of Lunel is sometimes known as the "Cité de Muscat". As with many small appellations in the south of France, the production of Muscat de Lunel is dominated by a cooperative. There are also half a dozen private producers.
