Discover the best wines made with Melon de Bourgogne as a single variety or as a blend of Oregon.
Dry, vivid and saline whites with a pale robe, slender mouthfeel and sharp acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, cut grass, iodine and marine mineral notes. Fine lees ageing adds richness and a brioche complexity. The absolute star of Muscadet AOC and Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine AOC. An autochthonous Burgundian variety (Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc), exiled to the Pays Nantais in the 17th century.
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
