Tasting Story
The 2023 'Melon B' is a spectacularly pure expression of the Loire Valley, delivering textural notes of fresh quince and white peach pinned together by a distinct, mineral-driven acidity. Aged for six to eight months on fine lees, the wine possesses a generous, silky weight that perfectly balances its natural "electric" pulse.
Producer Story
Bernard and Benoît Landron are a father-son team operating a family-run winery northeast of Nantes, where they manage their 25 hectares of organic vineyards with a precision that feels as intentional as a master woodworker's joinery.
Serving Tip
Serve at 10–12°C. This slightly cooler temperature highlights the wine's saline freshness and keeps the citrus notes sharp. No decanting is required—this wine is built for immediate energy.
