Description of Sancerre Blanc "Génération XIX"

Estate

Domaine Alphonse Mellot is a renowned estate in the Loire Valley, known for its traditional expertise combined with a continuous pursuit of quality. For several generations, the estate has been meticulously cultivating its vineyards while respecting the local terroirs.

Vineyard

Located in the Centre region, the vineyard grows on typical Sancerre argilo-calcareous soils. These conditions produce balanced, fresh, and mineral-driven white wines typical of the sauvignon grape.

Wine

This 2022 Sancerre white wine is fresh and aromatic, perfectly expressing the sauvignon variety. It reveals citrus and white fruit notes supported by a fine mineral backbone.

Vintage

The 2022 vintage benefited from a balanced climate, allowing optimal grape ripeness while maintaining natural acidity essential for the wine’s freshness.

Vinification & Aging

Winemaking focuses on preserving the primary aromas of sauvignon with gentle pressing and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Aging on fine lees adds complexity and slight richness without compromising freshness.
