Very fine and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense and concentrated Sancerre from old vines on clayey limestone soils. The acidity is remarkably fine and perfectly integrated, and the finish is long and tensioned, with stimulating salinity and phenolic grip. Producer Alphonse MellotPerched 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.
