Michel Gahier Arbois Melon La Fauquette 2017
Regular price $98.00
This is a ‘sous voile’ wine made from the mutant grape found only in the Jura called melon le queue rouge. As the name implies, this grape variety is distinctive because the grape has a red tail or stalk. It is likely that this variety is a mutant of chardonnay and is much beloved by Jura producers despite the difficulty in tending the vines. It makes a perfect accompaniment to the great cheese of the region, especially the famous aged Comté. This wine is now six years old but is still as fresh as the day it was bottled and will last for many years to come despite having had no sulphites added at any time. – Living Wines, importer
