Description
In a nutshell:
Fancy a Loire Sauvignon Blanc with textbook crispness, zesty grapefruit, and a whiff of something smoky and exotic? This one's for you.
The lowdown:
This Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc delivers a classic expression of the grape. Notes of grapefruit and a touch of gunflint lead the way, followed by a palate alive with tropical fruit and a refreshing zing. The grapes are meticulously sourced and fermented at cool temperatures, preserving the variety's vibrant character. The result is a crisp, mineral-infused wine with a satisfyingly long finish. An excellent example of why the Loire remains synonymous with world-class Sauvignon Blanc.
The Producer:
A pillar of Sancerre, Joseph Mellot boasts a remarkable 500-year heritage. Founded in 1513, this family-run estate has flourished through the generations. The current custodian, Catherine Corbeau-Mellot, along with her late husband Alexandre, have been instrumental in its modern success. Alexandre, a true champion of the Loire's potential, oversaw vineyard expansion, winery modernisation, and a flourishing export trade. Catherine's arrival in 1987 further bolstered the estate's reputation with her deft touch in sales and marketing. Joseph Mellot remains a benchmark for Sancerre, its wines consistently impressing with finesse and terroir expression.
When to drink:
This crisp Pouilly-Fumé is a versatile partner for food - think grilled sea bass, a comforting fish pie, or even something with a touch of spice.
Suitable for Vegetarians
