2025 Alphonse Mellot 'Moussiere' Sancerre

A benchmark Sancerre from one of the appellation's most storied names. The Mellot family has been growing vines in Sancerre for over four centuries, and La Moussière is their flagship expression — the wine that has introduced countless drinkers to what this corner of the Loire does best. Bright and precise with classic notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, white flowers, and that unmistakable flinty minerality that comes from the appellation's iconic silex and limestone soils. On the palate it's crisp and focused with excellent tension, a silky mid-palate, and a long, clean finish that keeps you coming back. Textbook Sancerre in the best possible way. A go-to for lovers of the appellation and a perfect introduction for anyone ready to understand what all the fuss is about.
