Alphonse Mellot, Sancerre BLANC, "La Demoiselle"

La Demoiselle, a cuvée from a terroir of clay over deep flint in the heart of the appellation, on the Sancerre hilltop. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc stands out for its salty flavors against a backdrop of pink grapefruit. Its refreshing, crystalline palate, with a subtle hint of oak, is reminiscent of flint.

Alphonse Mellot, Sancerre BLANC, "La Demoiselle" 2022	93 Vinous The 2022 Sancerre Demoiselle starts o pure and gentle, but then it’s all tension and austerity on the finish. This is a wine that has elegance and a fine hand, but charming it isn’t—that’s Pinot Noir on int. It has a real identity, making it a wine lover’s wine. The finish is long, scented with the fragrance of tea leaf, ripe damson fruit and festive spices.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
