Following the family tradition, Jérémie shares with us his Chapeau Melon, which is an intense and refreshing French white wine from the Muscadet vineyards. 

​

Why is it called Chapeau Melon? Why the bowler hat? It's a wink and nod to the grape variety used in this wine and muscadets, "melon de bourgogne" (Burgundy melon), and a "chapeau melon" is the French word for a bowler hat

​

His winery is located in a very unique terroir in the Loire Valley, made up of granite of Château-Thébaud. This granite enables the vines to grow deeper roots, providing a constant supply of minerals and water thereby striking the perfect balance between the sweetness and acidity from the grapes.

​

This wine is perfect for happy hour and is best served at 8°C. It is also great with fish, cold meats and salads.
