From Domaine Alphonse Mellot in France's Sancerre appellation, the Cuvée Edmond Sancerre Blanc 2022 is a refined 100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from the estate's oldest vines (40-90 years old) on a 7-hectare south-west-facing parcel of Kimmeridgian marl soils, honoring the 19th-generation family legacy. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage undergo partial fermentation in French oak barrels and wooden tanks, followed by lees aging to develop texture and depth while preserving vibrancy. Certified organic and biodynamic, this production emphasizes minimal intervention and terroir expression, yielding a pale gold wine with green sheen and majestic density.
Tasting Notes An elegant, textured white with ripe stone fruit and subtle oak spice, reflecting Sancerre's Kimmeridgian terroir. The nose reveals rich apricot, pear, white flowers, and hints of spice and flint. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and focused, with vibrant acidity, silky texture, and flavors of citrus pith, stone fruit, and graceful minerality, leading to a long, refined finish.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with shellfish, goat cheese, or herb-roasted poultry. Enjoy now through 2032, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and honeyed nuances.
