Discover the grape variety: Melon blanc et rouge
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Almost absent from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE variety collections, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of central and northern France. A rare indigenous French white grape, once grown in central and northern France.
