JOSEPH MELLOT Sancerre AOP “Cuvée Pierre-Etienne” 2019

HK$580.00

Limited edition from a 0.8-hectare Flint Clay (Silex) vineyard. 3,000 bottles produced only.

Fermentation in fine grained oak barrels from the local forests. One third of the barrels are renewed each year. Ageing 11 months in barrels with regular stirring of the lees, then 12 months in vats.

The wine is full bodied and fleshy, with hints of sunshine. The toastiness is mellow. It combines with a lovely fruitiness. The minerality balances the whole. A pleasantly salty finish that lingers for a long time.

“A well-made, textured and driven 100% sauvignon blanc offering apples, spiced pears, cedar and baking spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Round and silky, with a vivid center palate and a flavorful, persistent finish. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, 92 Points

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
