Tasting notes
Lively like the look in your eyes, sweet like a kiss. Very fine gold colour with a green sheen. Its nose has a flowery fruity bouquet. Being pure and honest it is seducer from the outset. Flowers flit around, trees bend down to give their most beautiful fruits to us and the air we breathe is so sweet in this garden full of sweetness that it is intoxicating. Lively, supple and welcoming taste. Predominantly honest in a welcoming balance, it reflects a pretty grape, a fine harvest in the singing and laughter of the men and women pickers. It tells us of work well done in the divine order and Nature's kindness. It is fair, and all one expected and to cap it all there is happiness there.
More About The Winery
With a winemaking legacy dating back to 1513, Domaine Alphonse Mellot is one of the most historic and prestigious estates in Sancerre, today led by Alphonse Mellot Jr., the 19th generation of the family. The domaine’s flagship vineyard, La Moussière, is renowned worldwide for producing some of the finest Sauvignon Blancs, as well as elegant and refined Pinot Noir.
All vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, ensuring purity of fruit and the truest expression of terroir. Yields are kept low, grapes are harvested by hand, and meticulous care in the cellar allows each cuvée to showcase its unique personality.
The estate’s Sancerre Blancs are prized for their precision, minerality, and elegance, while the reds demonstrate remarkable finesse and complexity, often surprising those unfamiliar with Sancerre’s potential for Pinot Noir.
