Tasting Panel96 pts

“Mellot’s flagship Sancerre, La Moussière, comes from 25 hectares (62 acres) of Sauvignon Blanc planted on the southwestern flank of Sancerre. The vines average 55 years old and grow in Saint-Doulchard Kimmeridgian marl and limestone; they are certified organic and biodynamic, with the fruit harvested by hand into small crates. It's incredible, and in 2025, the wine is tropical-fruit focused with these elegant honeysuckle notes, beautifully silky and weighty on the palate, underscored by clean, crisp acidity and finishing with tremendous length, saline minerality, and slivered almonds with a slick tangerine oil richness. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Abv. 14.5%”
