    Description Sancerre Blanc "Génération XIX"

    Estate

    Domaine Alphonse Mellot is a historic estate in Sancerre, renowned for its traditional expertise and commitment to quality. For several generations, the estate has been producing wines that perfectly express the Sancerre terroir.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Centre-Val de Loire region, the vineyard benefits from rich clay-limestone soils mixed with flint stones typical of the Sancerre appellation. This unique terroir imparts finesse and minerality to the wines.

    Wine

    This 2019 Sancerre blanc is a dry, elegant, and aromatic wine made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc. It expresses fresh and mineral notes characteristic of its terroir, showing a remarkable balance between liveliness and depth.

    Vintage

    The 2019 vintage saw balanced climatic conditions with a particularly warm and dry summer, leading to optimal grape ripeness and healthy clusters, promising a fruity and structured wine.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic purity. Aging mostly on fine lees enhances the texture and complexity without the use of oak barrels.

    Grape Variety

    Sauvignon Blanc

    Characteristics & Tasting

    Tasting

    • Appearance: Pale yellow with silvery reflections.
    • Nose: Intense and fresh, revealing aromas of lemon, white flowers, and flinty mineral notes.
    • Palate: Lively and elegant, the palate is driven by well-balanced acidity and a marked saline finish.

    Serving

    Serve between 10 and 12°C. A light decanting of about thirty minutes may be recommended for young wines.

    Food Pairings

    This Sancerre pairs elegantly with sea bass ceviche, green asparagus risotto, fresh goat cheese, or almond-crusted trout fillet.

    Occasions

    Ideal for a countryside lunch, a summer business meal, or a tasting with friends featuring seafood.

    Aging Potential

    Can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity and aromatic richness within the next 5 to 7 years.
