The 2014 De Ponte 'D.F.B' Melon de Bourgogne is a fantastic and bright release from this estate. This was aged in stainless steel with the exception of one used French oak barrel in the final blend. As this slowly opens it begins to release aromas of pear, starfruit, and jasmine flower with honeydew. This leads to light flavors of red delicious apple, starfruit and a touch of green papaya. This is lithe and lovely wine that is a great summer value buy. (Best 2016-2021) - June, 2016 (OB)
