Alphonse Mellot

Sancerre, La Moussière, Alphonse Mellot. A vineyard, a terroir, a man. Three words for a single passion - wine. Winegrowers since the sixteenth century, the Mellots have always lived their lives to the regular rhythm of the vine and have upheld the quality and renown of Sancerre through the ages. Today, in this region of hills and valleys located 200 kilometres southwest of Paris, on a 40 hectare domain, Alphonse Mellot continues along the path taken by his ancestors to keep improving his wines' reputation for excellence. Wines which have remarkable finesse and a characteristic taste of the "terroir" called gunflint.
The Cuvée Edmond, "Vieilles Vignes" is a particularly distinguished fine wine from the property. It is a pleasurable, well balanced wine, the result of very careful selection and is one of his greatest wine successes, the magical outcome of the combination of nature, man and teamwork.
