Mélange Blanc
Rhône Blend
Wine Notes
Although the grape varieties which compose the Mélange Blanc are classic to the Rhône Valley, this blend is anything but traditional. Each vintage is uniquely crafted to showcase the most harmonious expression achievable from Moon Mountain Vineyard’s white Rhône varieties, despite them seldom appearing together in French bottlings. The 2023 vintage is distinguished by the textural richness of Marsanne and Roussanne, which form the foundation of this blend. Viognier contributes its aromatic lift, while Grenache Blanc offers crucial structural elements and brightness. For enthusiasts who value both heritage winemaking and innovative approaches, this contemporary interpretation of classic Rhône varieties offers immediate approachability while promising nuanced development over the next several years.
