The flagship white from Alphonse Mellot, the 19th of his name and one of the most talented vignerons in all of Sancerre, a rare master equally gifted with red and white. La Moussiere is the domaine's tete-de-cuvee: a single ~30-hectare vineyard farmed biodynamically since 1999, where Kimmeridgian limestone meets the chalky marls of Saint-Doulchard. Everything is hand-harvested at low yields, and the wine rests seven to eight months on fine lees for texture. This is Sauvignon Blanc as true vin de terroir, mineral and precise rather than loud. A benchmark Sancerre to drink now or hold a few years.

More about Alphonse Mellot

Along with the domaine Vacheron, Mellot is one of the greatest producers of 'classic' Sancerre: linear, lithe, acid-driven and elegant wines quite different from the powerhouse whites that tend to come from Chavignol. Also like Vacheron, Mellot farms biodynamically and produces a wide range of cuvées, including many site-specific ones, mostly from the areas surrounding the medieval town of Sancerre itself. The style is here supremely elegant, and the top wines have good aging (10+ yrs) potential.
