Tasting notes
The exception proves the rule, as a matter of fact, we are reverting to the origin of the Melon de Bourgogne grape variety and consequently to a white Burgundy type of wine. An unusual tasting note with entrance cooked prune from the over ripeness, as well as the young and refreshing qualities of the MUSCADET combined with the roundness in mouth of Great Burgundys. The entire taste is linked to the tang of soil emphasized in oak cask. Complex but superb wine.Must be drunk cool between8 to 10°c.
