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.
