Alphonse Mellot Description
Pale gold yellow in color with light green sheen - brilliant, bright and clear - a young honest appearance. A rich majestic nose. Honey, vanilla, lemon, brioche etc., follow each other as if in a daydream, all orchestrated through a new woody tone. Opening it makes it welcoming and tender with crisp plants revealing aniseed, menthol, licorice and spices.
Pairs well with oysters, crayfish cooked in a court-bouillon, scallops in caramelized chicory, sautéed Sancerre chicken with mixed vegetables in butter, chitterlings sausage in mustard seed, fresh Chavignol goats milk cheese, blue and remade, fresh fruit topped with toasted cheese in Sancerre zabaglione, egg whites with vanilla custard.
Vinous: 96 Points
Put in bottle a week before tasting, the 2022 Sancerre Cuvee Edmond is a precise, focused, concentrated and energetic wine. It's shy aromatically, but in terms of structure, it is pure and refined and keeps on going, offering excellent momentum. The 2022 leaves a firm, chalky finish that confidently holds the mouth.
