Domaine La Croix Mélier - Montlouis sur Loire Les Outardes 2019 (demi-sec)

5/5 (1 reviews)

"Aged 9 months in barrel, this wine, named in tribute to the migratory birds that sometimes nest on the plot, is a deep straw yellow with impeccable limpidity. The expressive nose is reminiscent of peach and quince, with floral scents and some more vegetal notes. Long and balanced on the palate, with exotic fruits and a citrus finish. True to the appellation, this demi-sec is a real "coup de coeur".(Le Guide Hachette 2022)

Domaine La Croix Mélier - La Pièce Qui Tourne 2016 (moelleux)

3.6/5 (10 reviews)

"For his first year at the helm of the domaine, Philippe Ivanic strikes a blow with this moelleux from a plot of old vines planted in curved rows. The must was vinified in barrels, where it remained for eleven months. The color is pale with golden highlights. The nose, still discreet, is focused on fruit. The palate develops long and harmoniously, without concealing its mellowness, releasing aromas of honey, pineapple and ripe grapes, underpinned by a welcome freshness. Already excellent, and for a long time to come ". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

Domaine La Croix Mélier - Les Outardes 2017 (demi-sec)

3.6/5 (5 reviews)

"This demi-sec comes from a parcel of vines where bustards, those big birds, have been nesting every year for ages. On the wine side, a golden Montlouis with green highlights and an expressive nose, blending floral, fruity and woody notes from the fermentation barrels. Aromas are accompanied by candied lemon anda hint of bitterness on the finish, in a well-balanced palate ". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)A bottle that's the perfect accompaniment to festive and spicy dishes!

Domaine La Croix Mélier - Les Outardes 2016 (demi-sec)

3.9/5 (7 reviews)

"The parcel of vines from which the grapes for this cuvée are grown is a refuge for nesting bustards. Vinified for eleven months in casks, the wine is bright, straw-yellow in color. Fruity aromas stand out on the nose. On the palate, it's a very unctuous demi-sec tending towards mellowness, open to exotic fruits and licorice". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

Domaine La Croix Mélier - Les Javelles 2017 (sec)

4/5 (6 reviews)

A very pleasant, fresh dry Montlouis-sur-Loire, with floral notes of hawthorn and verbena. The palate is lively, with good energy and light residual sugar. Well controlled, this white wine finishes with a hint of licorice. A new wine to try!
