With its single grape variety, this wine showcases a schist terroir that gives it exceptional character. The slow, four-month fermentation allows for the extraction of beautiful aromatic complexity and guarantees a silky texture on the palate. A minimal addition of sulfur only at bottling ensures purity and an authentic expression of flavors.

Our opinion on the vintage
Domaine De La Sénéchalière
The Melon grape, as crafted by Marc Pesnot, is anything but a discreet variety. Fermentation is slow, sometimes lasting months; the wine settles, gaining in breadth without losing its vibrancy. These white wines from the Nantes region possess a singular charm: round yet taut, simple yet profound. In short: they flow. Pesnot demonstrates that a grape variety considered neutral can become luminous.
