Alphonse Mellot, Sancerre ROUGE "La Demoiselle"
Shaped by its terroir, this red has a powerful nose with aromas of smoke and jammy black cherries, an intense ruby color, and a smooth palate dominated by peppery notes, enveloped by silky tannins. Eggs en meurette, spiced wild duck, or poached pears will pair wonderfully with this gourmet wine, made for aging.
