    Estate

    The Domaine Alphonse Mellot is a historic estate renowned for its expertise in the Centre region, especially in Sancerre. For generations, the Mellot family has maintained a winemaking tradition combining terroir respect and high quality standards.

    Vintage

    The 2019 vintage benefited from a warm and dry summer, producing ripe grapes with good concentration. This year is recognized for the quality of its red wines in the region, with a remarkable balance between aromatic richness and freshness.

    Vinification & Aging

    The vinification is traditional with controlled maceration to extract finesse and complexity. The aging is carried out in stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic purity while ensuring a silky structure.
