Melon de Bourgogne is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Loire Valley region of France, most famously in the Muscadet appellation. It is the sole permitted grape for producing Muscadet wines and is known for producing crisp, mineral-driven white wines with excellent food-pairing versatility.
Flavors & Aromas
Citrus, green apple, white flowers, mineral, and subtle herbaceous notes with a clean, refreshing character
Winemaking & Aging
Produces dry, light-bodied white wines with high acidity and mineral complexity. Wines are typically unoaked and best consumed young, though quality examples can age gracefully for 3-5 years. The grape thrives in cool climates and benefits from extended contact with its lees, which adds texture and complexity to the final wine.
