WINE DESCRIPTION

Alphonse Mellot En Grands Champs Sancerre is a premium white wine produced by Alphonse Mellot, a renowned winemaker from the Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley, France. The wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the En Grands Champs vineyard, which is known for its unique terroir and favorable microclimate. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in oak barrels. The resulting wine is crisp, elegant, and expressive, with aromas of red fruit, spices, and minerality. It is a perfect match for grilled fish, beef, and hard cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Wine Enthusiast gave the 2017 vintage 94/100 points and wrote the following: "This sophisticated, ripe wine comes from a high elevation, well-exposed vineyard.Generous and full, the wine has light tannins and spice from wood aging. The structure and black fruits are rich and fully mature, although there is also potential for further aging. Organic and biodynamic".
