Melon De Burgogne is the grape of the Loire's Muscadet wines. Despite Muscadet's success, it has not been widely planted outside the Loire. Though Melon de Bourgone is most likely to produce innocuous or neutral wines, look for Muscadet Sevre et Maine sur lie- its extended contact on the lees fortifies its flavors. The best examples of Melon de Burgogne can often benefit from years of aging and is best when consumed with fresh shellfish. Expect subtle mineral and citrus notes with an elegant saline edge.
