Alphonse Mellot Description
In 2013, this historic estate celebrated its 500th anniversary – 19 successive generations of winegrowers in the Mellot family. Today Alphonse Jr. is in total charge, having taken over the reigns from his father Alphonse Sr. fully fifteen years ago. The property, known as La Moussiere, is now at the height of quality for white wines world-wide. All farming is organic and certified biodynamic, with an elite team in the vineyards focused on low yields and ideal ripeness. Their Sauvignons have acquired a rare precision and each parcel is well-defined.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2022 La Demoiselle is a vineyard that faces northeast, so it's a cooler wine, which creates a firm, crackling style with notes of oak-derived toast joining the firm fruit. It's clean, pure and flinty. Concentrated and punchy, you'll need to like acidity if you want this. If you like a bit of power and grip in your Sancerre, you're in the right place.
