Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Edmond 2023 (1.5L) *

Sancerre sits at the eastern end of the Loire, where Sauvignon Blanc turns crisp, mineral, and taut rather than overtly herbaceous. This is the Edmond bottling from Alphonse Mellot, a single Sauvignon Blanc grown in Sancerre and released under the 2023 vintage, a wine built with more weight and structure than the everyday version of the appellation, the kind meant to reward a little patience in the glass.
