Alphonse Mellot, Sancerre ROUGE, "La Moussiere"

Red cherry, wild berries, rose petals, subtle spice, and earthy undertones.  A structured yet refined Pinot Noir, expressing both the freshness and the chalky signature of Sancerre. Farmed biodynamically on limestone-rich, the fruit is hand-harvested and carefully sorted. Vinification combines partial whole-cluster fermentation with gentle extraction to preserve finesse and site expression. Aging takes place in a mix of vats and oak barrels, used with restraint to maintain purity.
