Alphonse Mellot Sancerre La Moussiere 2010 is the benchmark for top level white Sancerre. The 2010 vintage shows characteristically firm acidity, in perfect balance with the complexity of its herbaceous, ripe citrus flavours.
The Mellot family first made wine in 1513. During the 19th Century Alphonse established a tavern in Sancerre, and today the 18th and 19th generations of the family control the business that grew out of the little tavern. Alphonse senior took control of the estate in 1970, and began focusing on quality rather than volume. Today the vineyard owned by the family is a manageable 47 hectares or thereabouts, farmed largely organically. Alphonse junior has now taken the lead, and today works with his father to make and promote the wines.
