Description

The Mellot family has made wine in Sancerre since 1513 and the firstborn son takes the name Alphonse. Nineteen generations in, La Moussiere is still the flagship. Sauvignon Blanc off south-facing Kimmeridgian soils, farmed biodynamically since 1999, fermented in a split of vats and barrels for texture. The 2024 is fresh and precise, all lemon and stone. Benchmark Sancerre from the appellation’s first family. Bring oysters. Or don’t, it will not care.
