Jolie-Laide Melon de Bourgogne 2024 – Monterey’s Coastal Elegance

Discover the crisp purity of our 2024 Melon de Bourgogne, handcrafted in California’s Chalone AVA at an elevation of 1,800 feet. This vibrant white wine captures the essence of its volcanic terroir—decomposed granite and limestone soils shaped by ancient geological forces.

Tasting Notes:
A refreshing bouquet of white flowers, sea salt, ripe pear, and zesty lemon unfolds into a palate alive with oyster shell minerality and bright acidity. Perfect for lovers of lean, mineral-driven whites, this wine pairs beautifully with oysters, seafood towers, or light summer salads.

Vineyard Legacy:
Planted in 1985 by pioneer Dick Graff, our south-facing slopes bask in Monterey’s dramatic diurnal shifts—warm days and cool Pacific nights—locking in freshness. The Gavilan Mountain Range location near Pinnacles National Park ensures optimal drainage and concentrated flavors.
