Domaine Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Rouge 'La Moussière' 2022
Vintage Character
Domaine Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Rouge 'La Moussière' 2022 showcases the finesse and vibrancy of Pinot Noir grown in the celebrated limestone soils of Sancerre. The 2022 vintage in the Loire Valley benefited from a warm spring followed by a moderate summer, resulting in balanced ripeness and lively acidity that lend elegance and freshness to the wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Seductive aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry, and delicate floral notes are layered with subtle hints of crushed stone and gentle spice. On the palate, juicy fruit and silky tannins harmonize with a distinct mineral undertone, culminating in a refreshing, lingering finish. This versatile red pairs beautifully with roast duck breast, creamy brie cheese, or a classic French lentil salad, while its fresh structure also complements lightly spiced Kung Pao chicken, offering a dynamic range of food matches for any occasion.
Winery Background
Domaine Alphonse Mellot is one of Sancerre’s most historic and respected estates, with family roots dating back to the early 16th century. The flagship 'La Moussière' vineyard is certified organic and biodynamic, and is renowned for its Kimmeridgian limestone soils that impart purity and tension to the wines. The Mellot family’s philosophy centers on minimal intervention, meticulous vineyard care, and a deep respect for terroir, ensuring each wine authentically expresses its origin. Their commitment to sustainable practices and hands-on winemaking has positioned them as a benchmark producer in Sancerre, with each bottle reflecting a harmonious blend of heritage, precision, and innovation.
