2023 Alphonse Mellot La Moussiere Sancerre
As far back as 1513 local records mention the Mellot family as wine merchants and growers of wines of excellent quality, gaining further recognition when 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 savor the local wines and began a flourishing trade. In 1881 he was granted a license to ship his wine throughout France and all over the World, this marked the beginning of an international presence, which has been developed by the family business from father to son ever since. Today, with centuries of winemaking tradition under their belt, the Alphonse Mellot label sits at the top of the wine producing pyramid in Sancerre The house’s ‘Tete-de-Cuvee,’ Domaine la Moussière, is one of the greatest 'classic' Sancerres: linear, lithe, acid-driven and elegant. We had the pleasure of hosting Alphonse Mellot (the19th) at the club last week, and we tasted through his stunning portfolio. The 'La Moussiere' is the Burgundy lover`s Sancerre, and a candidate for Graileys go-to summer white. Back up the truck.
