A piercing rapier of a wine, with a dry, chiseled feel to the flint, chalk and chive notes that remain steely and focused through the finish. A light verbena hint echoes at the very end. Drink now through 2021. 510 cases made.  –JM
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.
