Description

LA MOUSSIERE SANCERRE 750ML is a white wine from the Sancerre region of France, known for its crisp acidity and vibrant citrus flavors. This Sauvignon Blanc features notes of green apple, gooseberry, and a hint of minerality, reflecting the unique terroir of the Loire Valley, making it a refreshing choice for wine enthusiasts.

As far back as the XVI century, in 1513 to be exact, the local records mention the MELLOT family, whose life even at that time was governed by the seasons of the vine and the production of wines of excellent quality. The Mellot family, vinegrowers and wine merchants, was again mentioned during the siege of the town. They pursued their patient labours and continued to gain recognition because César Mellot was appointed as Wine Advisor to Louis XIV in 1698. At the beginning of the XIX century, ALPHONSE MELLOT founded a tavern in Sancerre where one could savour the local wines and so began a flourishing trade that was to continue. In 1881 he was granted a licence to ship his wine throughout France and all over the World. This marked the beginning of a pacific conquest which has been pursued and developed by the family business from father to son ever since, with the eldest son continuing to bear the name of the Founder Alphonse.

This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, salads, and goat cheese. For optimal enjoyment, serve it chilled at around 45-50°F (7-10°C) and consider using it as a refreshing aperitif or complement to light summer meals.
