LA MOUSSIERE MELLOT SANCERRE 750 ML

La Moussière Sancerre by Alphonse Mellot is a distinguished expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Sancerre appellation in France’s Loire Valley. Produced by the historic Mellot family, whose winemaking heritage in Sancerre dates back generations, La Moussière showcases the precision, minerality, and elegance that define exceptional Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

Sourced from carefully tended vineyards surrounding Sancerre, the wine reflects the region’s distinctive limestone, flint, and clay-rich soils, giving it a refined mineral character and remarkable freshness. It is a sophisticated choice for customers seeking a premium Sancerre with depth and personality beyond the typical crisp Sauvignon Blanc style.

Tasting Notes

The nose is expressive and elegant, revealing layers of white flowers, citrus, lemon zest, ripe pear, green apple, and fresh herbs, followed by the distinctive mineral and flinty notes associated with Sancerre.

On the palate, La Moussière is vibrant, precise, and beautifully textured. Bright citrus and orchard-fruit flavors are balanced by energetic acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Subtle notes of stone, fresh herbs, and white flowers add complexity, while the finish is long, clean, and exceptionally refreshing.

Food Pairing

La Moussière is an outstanding partner for oysters, shellfish, fresh goat cheese, grilled branzino, sea bass, scallops, shrimp, sushi, sashimi, seafood salads, and delicate vegetable dishes. Its lively acidity and mineral character make it particularly well suited to classic French seafood and Loire Valley cuisine.

Serving Recommendation

Serve chilled at approximately 46–50°F. Allowing the wine a few minutes to open in the glass can reveal additional floral, citrus, and mineral nuances
