Melón or Melon de Bourgogne is an ancient variety from Burgundy, where it was already grown in the 13th century. It has medium ripening and is not much productive so long pruning is recommended. Melon is suitable for clay and silica soils and cool climates thanks to its endurance to frost. This variety has small berries and is prone to suffer botrytis cinerea but is resistant to powdery mildew and dead arm (Eutypa lata).
In France, Melón is the fourth most planted variety in the country, just ahead of Sémillon but quite after Sauvignon Blanc. Vineyards are almost exclusively located in the western end of Val de Loire, especially in the departments of Loire-Atlantique and Maine-et-Loire. Melon plays the main role at the appellation Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine, at the south and west of Nantes, being the only authorised variety in all the Muscadet designations of origin.
Melon wines are crispy, energetic, citric, iodized and with relatively neutral taste. If aged on lees wines can have some more flavour, and are an excellent match for the seafood of the region. Some recommended producers in Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine, are Guy Bossard at Domaine de l'Écu, Christophe Gadais at Domaine de la Tourmaline and Pierre Lieubeau at Domaine de la Frutière ; regarding Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu, Jérôme Choblet at Domaine des Herbauges under Fief Guérin cuvée, Château de la Pierre, Clos de la Fine and Eric Chevalier at Domainede l'Aujardière.
