Alphonse Mellot, Sancerre (Loire Valley, France) 2022

Apr 16, 2024

By Rebecca Murphy

 The white wines from Alphonse Mellot speak clearly of the soil from which they come.  La Moussiere is their flagship vineyard with over thirty hectares of marl and limestone soil.  This single variety Sauvignon Blanc has a very pale, yellow color, with subtle citrus aromas and flavors with dusty, chalky mineral notes.  It is surprisingly delicate and elegant in the mouth.
