Wines made from Melon-Queue-Rouge grapes of France
Discover the best wines made with Melon-Queue-Rouge as a single variety or as a blend of France.
Lively, refreshing dry whites with a pale golden robe and green hints, a lean palate and preserved acidity, with signature aromas of citrus (lemon), white flowers, white-fleshed fruits (pear) and Loire saline iodine notes. A profile identical to classic Muscadet. Preserved for its heritage value in a few parcels in the Pays Nantais. A reddish-stemmed mutation of Melon de Bourgogne, native French white grape.
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.
