Description
In a nutshell:
Crisp, elegant, and with that signature flinty edge - everything you expect from a classic Sancerre.
The lowdown:
A refined single-vineyard Sancerre grown on flint-rich soils - that's what the "Silex" on the label tells you. That distinctive mineral, gun-flint character shows through clearly in the glass, layered with tropical notes of pineapple, mango, and a subtle touch of passion fruit. It has depth and a well-rounded fullness, with a long, aromatic finish that lingers beautifully. Joseph Mellot's Sancerres are always a benchmark of quality, and this bright example is no exception - refined, elegant, and unmistakably Sancerre.
The Producer:
A pillar of Sancerre winemaking, Joseph Mellot has an impressive 500-year history, with roots dating back to 1513. This family-run estate has been passed down through the generations and continues to thrive today. Much of its modern success is thanks to Alexandre Mellot, who championed the Loire's potential, expanding vineyards, modernising the winery, and building a strong export presence. Since 1987, Catherine Corbeau-Mellot has been at the helm, strengthening the estate's reputation with her expertise in sales and marketing. Today, Joseph Mellot remains a benchmark producer, known for wines that capture the elegance and character of their terroir.
When to drink:
Perfect with delicate fish dishes like seabass or lemon sole, oysters or langoustines for a touch of luxury, and always a classic match with goat's cheese - the fresh, flinty character sings.
Suitable for Vegetarians
