PLEASE NOTE THIS WINE IS IN JOHANNESBURG
Alphonse Mellot is a wine producer located in Sancerre, France and is best known for its Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wines from the famous La Moussière vineyard. Local records mention the Mellot family in connection with wine dating back to 1513, yet it was in 1881 that Alphonse Mellot received a license to ship his wines worldwide, marking the beginning of successive generations of family ownership from father to son.
"Beautiful deep crimson colour... A very big area of land located on Lusitanian to Portlandian period cretaceous rock at the top of the Moussiere where a pocket of Buzancais limestone gives it compact fine grained features. Mulberries, morello cherries and pink peppercorns melt into long lasting silky tannins." - Alphonse Mellot
