2020 Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Les Romains

Like all Mellot’s fruit, the grapes were hand-picked. Fermentation took place in 13-hectolitre tronconique casks and the wine was aged on fine lees for 12 months. It’s a striking, super-charged Sancerre, galloping with pristine and succulent white orchard fruit. Chalky textures entwine with limpid mineral freshness and it finishes with a note of grapefruit, and exceptional focus and length.
