Description of Sancerre Rouge "Génération XIX"

Estate

Domaine Alphonse Mellot is an iconic estate of the Sancerre appellation, renowned for its strict commitment to quality and authentic expression of the terroir. This family-owned estate has been cultivating its vineyards with passion and precision for several generations.

Vineyard

Located in the Centre region, the vineyard benefits from typical Val de Loire limestone and clay-limestone soils, providing an ideal environment for Pinot Noir. The temperate climate ensures optimal grape ripening, guaranteeing freshness and complexity in the wine.

Wine

This 2022 Sancerre red stands out for its finesse and elegance, characteristic of Pinot Noir on this terroir. The wine shows a fine structure with aromas evoking ripe red fruits while maintaining pleasant liveliness.

Vintage

The 2022 vintage, marked by a favorable summer season, allowed for even grape ripening. This balanced climate results in a harmonious wine combining freshness and concentration.

Vinification & Aging

The vinification favors a short maceration to preserve the delicacy of the Pinot Noir and extract supple tannins. Aging occurs in stainless steel vats to maintain aromatic purity and freshness.

Grape Variety

Pinot Noir

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Clear ruby red with purple highlights.
  • Nose: Fresh aromas of wild strawberry, sour cherry, and a delicate floral hint.
  • Palate: Fresh and balanced, the palate reveals ripe red fruit notes, supported by supple tannins and a slight minerality typical of Sancerre.

Occasions

Refined gatherings with friends, springtime terrace dinners, or relaxed business lunches.
