Michel Gahier, Arbois Blanc Melon La Fauquette, 2020
La Fauquette represents pure Melon Ă Queue Rouge from vineyard soils of blue marl, contributing spiciness and freshness. This wine is made sous voile (under a veil of yeast) in a 25-hectoliter foudre without topping-up, allowing controlled oxidation. After bottling the previous vintage, the wine transfers into 400-liter barrels of Jura oak to complete aging. The result is a distinctive expression of this mutant grape, marked by minerality, spice, and complexity that deepens with bottle age. This 2020 is entering its prime.
