Melon 2023 from Domaine de la Grapp’A is a singular and vibrant white wine that highlights the Melon à Queue Rouge grape variety in a free, precise, and deeply Jura-esque interpretation.
Its natural tension and drinkability make it particularly enjoyable in its youth. Served at around 10 to 11 °C, it fully reveals its brilliance and energy. Best enjoyed young to appreciate its vivacity, while also capable of evolving slightly towards more mineral notes. It is a free-spirited, straightforward, and sincere white, true to the committed and artisanal ethos of Domaine de la Grapp’A!

Our Review of the Cuvée
La Grapp'A
In Auvergne, La Grapp'A crafts wines predominantly from Gamay grapes cultivated on basaltic soils. The red wines exhibit a vibrant dark fruit profile, subtle tension, and a lightly smoky finish characteristic of the region. Gentle vinification processes yield elegant, sometimes almost infused, expressions. This is an engaging and transparent estate that truly embodies the volcanic revival in Auvergne.
