Brittany

Brittany is a wine region in France.

Growers build the wines around Melon de Bourgogne, filling out the blend with Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Grolleau Noir and Pinot Noir, plus one more.

The ground underneath is clay and granite.

The climate is maritime/oceanic.

The vineyards themselves read as coastal and riverside.

Cider wine, spirit wine and white wine, plus one more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows fresh and crisp, minerally quality, light to medium-bodied and fruit-forward.

At the table these bottles work with seafood, salads, white meats and goat cheese.

Serve chilled.

Best drunk young.
