Tony Bornard 2020 Vin de France Melon 'Le Rouge Queue' (MAGNUM)

"I believe the first release of this wine since Phillippe left the reins. 2020, a generous year, means no shortage of gorgeous ripe fruit and sugar levels. The Melon always carries a streak of green apple and salty sea-spray which keeps this still lean and linear. Slightly oxidative, but still topped up in style. Umami and saline, but rich and generous; white chocolate and green tart fruit. You hardly ever see this in 750ml so to see it in magnum is quite special!" - Will
