Muscadet is a value-centric white wine produced in France’s Loire Valley from a grape known as ” Melon de Bourgogne”. Muscadet’s history dates back to the early 1700’s. After a winter frost destroyed most of the region’s vines, King Louis XIV encouraged the planting of grape varietals such as “Melon de Bourgogne” that could resist freezing temperatures. With a typical retail price under $20, Muscadet deserves consumer attention. #muscadet #loirevalley #louisxiv #winehistory #winevalues
