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.
