Domaine La Croix Mélier - Les Javelles 2017 (sec)
Loire
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
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!
