Alphonse Mellot : Génération XIX 2011

Made of 100% Sauvignon, the 2011 Sancerre Génération XIX d'Alphonse Mellot cuvee is a rich and complex wine that seduces with its fullness. The product of a 2 hectare parcel with good sun exposure and Kimmeridgian clay soils, the 2011 Sancerre Génération XIX d'Alphonse Mellot cuvee is rested on its lees for 10 to 12 months. This wine has a beautiful, pale golden-yellow robe with subtle green highlights that give way to an agreeable aromatic finesse. The nose is dominated by a lovely freshness. Mature, it delivers notes of citrus, minerals and menthol as well as beeswax and gingerbread. The palate is ample, fresh and reveals a virile and rich wine.
