Domaine De La Cadette Melon Blanc

A rare gem from Burgundy, Domaine de la Cadette’s Melon Blanc 2022 is made from Melon de Bourgogne—a historic grape more commonly found in the Loire. This crisp and refreshing white is aged 5 months on lees in stainless steel, bringing out beautiful texture and complexity.

On the nose, it opens with zesty citrus, subtle beeswax, and light vanilla notes. The palate is vibrant and mineral, with a clean saline finish and mouthwatering acidity. Light-bodied yet full of character, it’s a brilliant expression of the chalky-limestone terroir of Vézelay.
