Also known as Melon, it is the white grape variety used to make Muscadet in the Loire region, particularly in the Pays Nantais, where both the grape variety and the wine are known as Muscadet. Melon de Bourgogne is a prolific grape that ripens early and tolerates cold climates well. It produces a neutral, dry white wine that is neither acidic nor particularly rich in flavor. To improve the quality of the wine, winemakers often bottle it on the lees (a process called "sur lie") without filtering, so the wine must be consumed while it is young and fresh. The grape is also grown in California, where for decades it was mistakenly confused with Pinot Blanc.
