93pts James Suckling

A juicy, seductive and succulent Sancerre with spiced pears, wild herbs and hints of lemons and stones on the nose. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity. There is volume on the palate, with a fresh, vertical core and a mineral edge. Lively and driven, with a persistent finish. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow color with green hues. Intense mineral notes giving way to a fruity and delicate expression. Mineral and elegant mouth with aromas of pear and yellow peach bringing the aromatic and juicy side of the wine. Elegant salinity, well-balanced.

Ideal with white fishes, a creamy risotto with curry shrimps, a grilled crayfish or also with Crottin de Chavignol, an old Comté.

Over time, Joseph MELLOT expanded by acquiring new vineyards. Nowadays, our Portfolio includes a wide variety of wines from the Centre-Loire Region.
