Tasting Notes
Sea spray, a dash of green olive and lots of dainty, perfumed fruit. Taut palate that broadens into cool, fleshy peach stones and white flowers, stretching out into a gently leesy finish. Bottled without SO2 and matured sur lie, this 100% Melon de Bourgogne is beautifully expressive and lush with fruit, much more than many a Muscadet!
