The Nocturne from Domaine de la Combe is composed of 100% Melon de Bourgogne; (i.e. a declassified Muscadet). This flint, green and sprightly little wine is like morning mist, super light and approachable. This organically-farmed wine was sourced from 40 year old vines, then fermented in stainless steel tanks.
- The wine was vinified by Pierre-Henri Gadais, from organically-farmed vineyards.
- Pierre wanted to label the wine according to the variety, but appellation laws do not allow this, so he named it “Nocturne,” because the harvest took place in the evening.
- The wine was vinified with an emphasis on the fruit flavor, not the lees.
Vibes with:
- Ocean-inspired faire.
- Post work pick me up.
- Sharing a bottle of this with your friend who drinks Stella Artois.
