Sancerre, Alphonse Mellot “La Demoiselle” 2021
In 1513, the records of Sancerre mention the Mellot family, which is today perpetuated by Alphonse Mellot Jr., the 19th to bear the name. “La Demoiselle” is his cuvee from a deep flinty clay terroir on the peak of Sancerre, in the heart of the appellation. Crafted from biodynamically-grown Sauvignon Blanc, it bursts from the glass with lemon, grapefruit, elderflower, and saline with a subtle richer note from 10 months aging in large oak vats.
