Tasting notes
The 2022 Cuvée des Docteurs Melon à Queue Rouge Ouillé shows the warmer and riper character of the vintage when tasted next to the 2023. It's more structured and richer (within the light and elegant style of the wine), rounder and with a tender palate, moderate alcohol and integrated acidity. 3,100 bottles were produced. They normally do two bottlings of this wine, and I tasted the second bottling of the 2022.

The 2022 Arbois Cuvée des Docteurs Melon à Queue Rouge opens with chamomile, dried blossom, lemon peel and hay. Medium-bodied and focused, the 2022 retains its freshness through crisp acidity. Considering the warm growing season, this is a remarkably lifted and elegant white from Vincent Aviet. A bright finish wraps it up in style.
