Melon de Bourgogne

Melon de Bourgogne is a white grape variety primarily associated with the Muscadet region in the Loire Valley of France. Historically cultivated in Burgundy, it was later displaced by Chardonnay and eventually found its home in the maritime-influenced vineyards near the Atlantic coast. Melon de Bourgogne produces crisp, high-acid wines with subtle floral and mineral notes, making it an ideal choice for seafood pairings. Its most famous expression is in Muscadet wines, known for their bracing acidity, saline character, and ability to age gracefully. Melon de Bourgogne showcases the terroir of its coastal vineyards, crafting wines that reflect the maritime influence and unique characteristics of the region.
