Wines made from Madeleine angevine grapes of Devon
Discover the best wines made with Madeleine angevine as a single variety or as a blend of Devon.
Aromatic, fresh dry whites with a pale hue, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with delicate notes of light muscat, citrus, white flowers, apple and florals. Thirst-quenching, drink young. Very early-ripening variety suited to northern climates: a quiet star of modern English wines, also grown in the Pacific Northwest and Anjou. Hybrid created in 1857 by Moreau-Robert in Anjou (madeleine royale × précoce de Malingre).
County of south-west England along a 20 km coastal strip between Lyme Regis and Torquay, temperate oceanic climate warmed by the Gulf Stream. Signature traditional-method sparkling wines: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with fine bubbles of green apple, lemon, white flowers, brioche and chalky notes. Signature Bacchus in still whites (Sauvignon-like, elderflower, citrus, lively). Madeleine Angevine, Seyval Blanc and Solaris for hybrid whites.
