Génération XIX

White 75cl 2013 Sancerre Loire Domaine Alphonse Mellot

Generation XIX comes from century-old vines. Very bright, it reveals complex aromas of lemons, nuts and honey. The mouth does not rest: ample, fresh with a salty finish. A wine to lay down. A few years' cellaring will allow it to express its full power and finesse. A great bottle!

Edmond

White 75cl 2012 Sancerre Loire Domaine Alphonse Mellot

A yellow gold with subtle bright green hues, a majestic nose evoking fresh herbs, liquorice and anise enveloped in honey and brioche notes, with a rich, flavoursome mouth waving balancing lime, vanilla and muscat notes leading to a long, spicy finish. This is an outstanding wine which, after long years of cellaring, will develop delicate mineral, buttery, toasty flavours. Quite simply, a must!

Côte Rôtie

Red 75cl 2013 Côte Rôtie Northern Rhône Domaine Pierre Gaillard

This 2013 Côte Rötie reveals a fruity, meaty and fine taste. This is largely due to the coupage: Syrah (90%) and Viognier (10%). The latter gives it an extra aromatic complexity and richness. A great wine that keeps really well.
