Alphonse Mellot GENERATION X1X Sancerre Rouge
Description: At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Alphonse Mellot founded a tavern in Sancerre where one could savour the local wines and so began a flourishing trade that was to continue. In 1881 he was granted a licence to ship his wine throughout France and all over the World. This marked the beginning of a pacific conquest which has been pursued and developed by the family business from father to son ever since, with the eldest son continuing to bear the name of the Founder Alphonse. Today, the old winemaking tradition is perpetuated by Alphonse Mellot, father and son, the 18th and 19th to bear the name. The GenerationXIX Vintage has been produced for 62 years on a single, 1 hectare, parcel of land . With such small yield great care is taken in producing this wine. It is picked by hand in small 25 Kg boxes then put onto a vibrating table and followed by a sorting table, here, the grapes will be sorted, stemmed and transported into the wine vats by conveyor belt. It is then fermented in 45 hl truncated wooden vats and aged in new casks for 14 months on average. A real explosion of flavour that is a remarkable example of what Pinot Noir can achieve in Sancerre. Lovely, ripe, classic fleshy Pinot character, complemented by fine tannins and oak complexity through to a long and consistent finish. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £594.92
