Lieu Dit
Santa Maria Valley Melon de Bourgogne


9.3? I can see you scratching your heads. "Is it really as good as that?"
Yes, it is. If I'd have tasted this blind I would have easily mistaken it for a Muscadet or perhaps a well-crafted Pinot Blanc. Lively and charming, the Lieu Dit Melon hails from vines planted in the 1970s in the Santa Maria Valley. Stainless fermented it's fresh and crisp with inviting aromas of peach, white flowers and wet stones. But really it's just beautiful in the mouth, with pitch-perfect acidity tinged with Fleur de Sel.

A desperation uncorking.
Super bright, and really reminiscent of Muscadet.

Drinking the last of my batch of these. One of my very favorite wines tried this year- good "calm before the storm" of the next couple of days. Merry Christmas Eve to whomever reads this :)
