Recall that La Boutanche is a project designed to bring good, low intervention wine to the people for around $20. Different producers so a variance in quality too. So it goes.
The ones from Le Sot de LāAnge (bulldog label) are the best of La Boutanche Iāve tried and āMelonā is a serious step above. Itās creamy and rich, voluptuous, assumed from extended lees contact. It has white creamed corn, Granny Smith Apple, bitter almond, chamomile, white flowers, and fennel.

Some CO2, but quaffable Melon and good QPR.

Fresh, bracing acidity, wonderful minerality, and yet paradoxically unctuous. For like $17. Amazing shit.
