90 By Robert Parker
The 2020 Sancerre La Moussière opens clear, intense and elegant on the nose, with fully ripe, yellow-fleshed stone fruit aromas (mango, peach) intertwined with refreshing phenolic and also algae notes. Full-bodied, intense and powerful on the palate, this is a mighty but elegant and finely refreshing Sancerre from Kimmeridigian marls. The finish is stimulatingly pure, fresh and saline. 14.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in January 2022.
Producer
Alphonse Mellot
Perched along the left bank of France’s longest river - the Loire - lies Alphonse Mellot. Located in Sancerre, one of Europe’s great limestone soils, this beautiful region is acclaimed as the greatest producer of Sauvignon Blanc in the world. Here, the century old winemaking tradition has been passed down within the Mellot family from generation to generation, dating all the way back to the 1500s. Alphonse Mellot was, and still is, one of the beacons of quality in the region. With everything done by hand, biodynamically and to impeccable standards, the Mellot family produces the most luminous and authentic representations of the Sauvignon grape.
