DescriptionJoseph Mellot Sancerre “La Chatellenie”��️ SummaryA benchmark Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc from one of Sancerre’s oldest estates. Joseph Mellot “La Chatellenie” is pure, precise and mineral-driven — a superb expression of Sancerre’s flint and limestone terroir.�� Tasting NotesPale lemon-gold in colour with green highlights. The nose opens with fresh citrus, white peach and pear, layered with delicate floral and flinty mineral notes. On the palate it’s crisp, elegant and finely textured, showing zesty acidity and flavours of grapefruit, green apple and wet stone. The finish is long and clean, leaving a lingering impression of chalky minerality and citrus zest.��️ Food PairingPerfect with oysters, grilled white fish, shellfish, goat’s cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), or light vegetable dishes. Serve well-chilled at 8–10 °C to enhance freshness and minerality.�� Winemaking & StoryFounded in 1513, Maison Joseph Mellot is a historic family estate and a benchmark for Sancerre winemaking. The “La Chatellenie” vineyard lies on flint-rich soils (silex) that lend the wine its signature mineral precision. Grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats to preserve aromatic purity. The wine is matured on fine lees to build texture and roundness while maintaining crisp acidity.⚙️ Product DetailsProducer: Joseph MellotRegion: Sancerre AOC, Loire Valley, FranceGrape Variety: 100 % Sauvignon BlancABV: ~13 %Style: Dry, crisp, aromatic whiteClosure: CorkBottle Size: 75 clAllergens: Contains sulphitesDietary Info: Suitable for vegetarians & vegansServing Temp: 8–10 °CAging Potential: 3–5 years from vintage for peak freshness
