I don’t know why there’s not more Melon de Bourgogne in the world. Citrusy, refreshing and delicious!

Bone dry, mineral and steely. Reminds me of muscadet.

Really lovely. Licorice bomb nose, soft but bright and bracing minerality; definitely would’ve mistaken this for old world. 11.8%. Beautiful stuff. Jolie-Laide know their stuff.
