This Alphonse Mellot La Moussière Sancerre, from the 2022 vintage, is expected to be a benchmark expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. On the nose, anticipate vibrant aromas of ripe citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, and gooseberry, intertwined with classic herbaceous notes of freshly cut grass or boxwood, and a distinct minerality often described as flint or wet stone. The palate will be dry, crisp, and refreshing, driven by a high, zesty acidity that perfectly balances the concentrated fruit flavors. A persistent, elegant finish will linger with saline and mineral undertones, showcasing the unique Sancerre terroir.
