More informations about the variety Melon de Bourgogne
Melon de Bourgogne (or simply Melon) is a white grape variety originating, as its name indicates, from the Burgundy region. It is better known as Muscadet, the name of the wine it produces. It is the dominant grape variety in the Nantes region on the Brittany coast. Like any grape variety, it has its own characteristics. But its history is quite particular, because its predominance in the Nantes region is the result of a terrible winter.
More informations about the wines of France
France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is arguably the world's largest wine-producing country. For centuries, it has produced more wine - and apparently better quality - than any other country. Wine is embedded in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. However, the lasting appeal of French wine is not necessarily its Volume or prestige, but rather the variety of styles available.
