"Vivanterre" Melon de Bourgogne 2020 is a natural wine crafted by Patrick Bouju, in the Auvergne region in France. This white wine is made with Melon de Bourgogne grapes, which we absolutely LOVE.

This wine features everything you want from the Muscadet, with the Loire regions of the same name and grape also known as Melon de Bourgogne as well as Folle Blance.

It's saline in its salty complexion, creamy on the finish and gives of notes of honey, apple, lemon and ironically to the name, soft melon touches too.

HIGHLY RECOMMMENDED, even more so it has now got some age on it!

Vivanterre Melon 2020 vinification

The grapes come from the sub region of Vallet in the Muscadet appellation. The vineyard is planted on gabbro metamorphic rock, which is slow cooled magma that is rich in magnesium and iron. This 100% Melon de Bourgogne is sourced from the vineyards of Romain Petitou.

The grapes were picked the first week of September and undergo direct press before immediately being placed in glass globes that are buried underground. Both the natural fermentation and the elevage takes place in these tanks. The grapes are sourced from the domaine of Romain Petitiou and the elevage and bottling also took place at his domaine, under the careful eye and tutelage of Patrick Bouju and Justine Loiseau. The wine stayed on the lees until it was ready to be bottled in March 2021.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

Prices include taxes, but not delivery.

NATURAL WINES BY PATRICK BOUJU

Patrick Bouju is a big name in the French natural wine world, and along with his partner Justine Loiseau, he tends to about 9 hectares of vines in Auvergne, France. Under the label "Domaine la Bohème," they also source grapes from other growers to create négoce wines, allowing them to expand their lineup beyond their own vineyards in wines like G&M, CC and Mol. This approach gives them room to experiment with lesser-known grape varieties like Mondeuse and Altesse. Bouju’s wines are highly sought after, especially in Germany, France, the U.K., and the U.S. Plus, their domaine wines like Lulu, The Blanc and Caillous age beautifully, making them quite collectible.
