Jean Aubron Contact!

The exclamation point in 'Contact!' isn't just clever marketing – it's telling you exactly what makes this wine special. This is a skin-contact version of Melon de Bourgogne (the grape of Muscadet) from Loire Valley veteran Jean Aubron, offering a fascinating twist on a classic French white.

By allowing the juice to remain in contact with the grape skins during fermentation – a technique more common in orange wine production – Aubron coaxes additional texture, complexity, and aromatic intensity from this sometimes subtle grape variety. The result is a wine that maintains the characteristic minerality and freshness of Muscadet but with added depth and presence.

It's perfect for those looking to explore the world of skin-contact whites without diving into the deep end of funky orange wines. And like traditional Muscadet, it remains a brilliant partner for seafood, though the additional texture allows it to pair with a wider range of foods.
