Vin de France Blanc “Melon” 2020 - Domaine de la Cadette

Vin de France Blanc "Melon" - Domaine de la Cadette

Vin de France Blanc "Melon" by Domaine de la Cadette is a wine made from Melon grapes, a white grape variety originating in Burgundy that for many centuries has been snubbed in favor of more commercial and international varieties, such as pinot noir and the chardonnay. Domaine de la Cadette, with the aim of enhancing this indigenous grape variety, vinifies the melon grapes in purity, leaving the wine to mature in steel on the lees for five months. The result is an unusual and unexpected product. Intriguing.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in a tulip glass. Wine to be drunk immediately but it will express its best in a few years.

Pairings

Excellent to combine with seafood, vegetable second courses, to try with salmon baked with vegetables.

Cellar: Domaine de la Cadette

Domaine de la Cadette is an organic farm located in Vézelay is a small medieval village south of the Chablis area, which was devastated by phylloxera. Unlike other areas, it has only been replanted here since 1970 and this explains why AOC Vézelay has only existed since 1997. The company is organically managed, and cultivates Melon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines on soils rich in chalk and limestone that manage to give thin and mineral wines.
