Madeleine Angevine Wines

Madeleine Angevine typically shows flavours of lemon, lime, green apple and elderflower with notes of herbs and soft florals. It has light body and fresh acidity, giving it a clean and aromatic profile. Many styles are delicate, refreshing and easy to drink.

Madeleine Angevine is grown in England, Germany and Luxembourg, with England now producing some of the most recognised examples. It thrives in cool climates where it retains acidity and aromatic lift. Plantings also exist in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

Madeleine Angevine is originally from France, but it has become an important grape in English still wine production. Its ability to ripen reliably in cool conditions makes it well suited to the English climate, where it produces crisp, aromatic whites.

Madeleine Angevine pairs well with seafood, salads, light pasta dishes, grilled vegetables and coastal cuisine. Its freshness and aromatics complement dishes featuring lemon, herbs and delicate flavours. It is especially good with shellfish and simple fish dishes.

Madeleine Angevine is used to produce crisp dry whites, lightly aromatic styles and occasional off dry versions. Most expressions focus on freshness and subtle fruit, although some producers craft more textured wines with added complexity.
