Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Blanc Génération XIX 2010




Organic and biodynamic culture, for this family of winemakers from Loire, passing the baton from father to son, from 1513 and coming to the twentieth generation.

This Sauvignon Blanc, produced in 6.000 bottles, ferments in conical stainless steel and spent about a year on the lees.

Flashes green combine with a radiant gold.

The scents, elegant, clean and without swollen ostentation, express themselves, at first, the tropical fruits - stands the passion fruit - peel and citrus - grapefruit and tangerine - then exploring vegetable and floral territories - nettle and tomato leaf, thyme and broom - and conclude with a solid mineral identity - iodine and oyster - which explains, without ambiguity, as the layer of Kimmeridgian is markedly present and characterizes these subsoils.

The taste has exemplary acidity and does not change, from the score olfactory and draws, in a precise sequence, the fruity and vegetable expressions, while the mineral and iodized structure gaining more and more weight and size.

Glass of terroir, straight and structured, very persistent, savory and, inevitably, all oyster and flint.
Huitres, ça va sans dire.
