Melon de Bourgogne, better known as Muscadet, the name of the wine that it produces, is the dominant grape of the Pays Nantais region of the Loire. It has been very successful in the region due to its ability to withstand cold weather and the fact it is a naturally high yielding grape, performing best on schistous and granitic soils and so producing a very dry white wine with distinctive minerality and almost neutral-flavoured characteristics on which to absorb terroir and sur lie characteristics.
