2023 Joseph Mellot Sancerre La Chatellenie
£25.00
“A juicy, seductive and succulent Sancerre with spiced pears, wild herbs and hints of lemons and stones on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. There is volume on the palate, with a fresh, vertical core and a mineral edge. Lively and driven, with a persistent finish.”

Product Description
Founded by Pierre Etienne Mellot in 1513, a regional pioneer who believed in the huge potential of the Loire’s Central Vineyards, Joseph Mellot remains at the forefront of winemaking in the Loire Valley.
Sauvignon Blanc thrives in the flint rich soils of Sancerre, giving it its distinctive gun-flint flavours. Aged on its fine lees preserving all its freshness and depth.
La Chatellenie is a single vineyard of 22 hectares with ancient soils from the Cretaceous period. This flint rich siliceous clay imparts the subtle hint of gun-flint. All vineyard processes are carried out in an environmentally-friendly manner, adapted to each terroir.
