Winery - Joseph Mellot
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A fresh, currant- and green plum-flavored wine that is clean, full of fruit and will develop soon. This is enjoyable already and will make great drinking this summer. Imported by Eagle Eye Imports.

Strong currant aromas, soft in texture with hints of caramel and toast as well as a more steely texture. The wine is fresh, light, deliciously ready to drink. Screwcap.

A smooth creamy textured wine, the fruit flavors softened by ripeness and an edge that is just sweet. Good acidity gives it a fresh streak, the flavors of white currants, green plums and grapefruit coming out of a smoky edge. Screwcap.

Fine ripe fruit here, with plenty of sweet apple and pear flavors. The wine is ripe, soft, open, maybe lacking concentration but with a great tangy herbaceous character. Screwcap.

A single estate run by Joseph Mellot, this produces an impressive ripe style of Sauvignon Blanc, at this stage youthful with exuberant white fruits and grapefruit, and an obvious need to age for 1–2 years.

Fresh-faced Sauvignon Blanc, with distinct citric character and a green herbal edge. A lightweight wine that has a great zesty finish.

A flinty, crisp style, with currants, green apples, pink grapefruit. Initially austere, it opens to some richness. The aftertaste, though, is crisp to a fault.

Big-hearted and round, this is a full wine, with apple pie and cream flavors leading to a crisp, mineral aftertaste. It’s delicious, very drinkable now, packed with ripe but refreshing fruit.

A light style of Pinot Noir, with strawberry jam aromas. The delicate fruit is shot through with dry tannins and the aftertaste is definitely on the acidic side.

From vineyards to the west of Sancerre in the Loire, Sancerrois Alexandre Mellot has produced a classically fresh, simple, very drinkable wine, showing great awareness of the apple and green pear character of Sauvignon Blanc. Drink this year.
