JOSEPH MELLOT Sancerre AOP “Les Vignes du Rocher” 2023

1.3 ha Single Vineyard on Sancerre Hilltop with a Flint-stone & clay terroir – Silex

Complex nose of white peach and guava accompanied by an assertive minerality. A wine that’s both fat and chiseled, with an imposing precision. Flinty minerality leads the way, with harmonious fruitiness. A hint of salinity subtly enhances the intense, precise finish.

“A delicious, juicy and balanced Sancerre with aromas of apples, warm herbs, raw almonds and some flowers. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Well rounded, velvety and vivid. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, 92 Points

“This is a solid Sancerre. Pale lemon in color, the floral-forward wine is a glass full of sliced red apple dusted with honeysuckle blossom. It displays concentration on the palate along with a lingering finish that flirts with bread dough. Pair with garlic naan, spring rolls or roasted cod. Editor’s Choice.” – Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
