The 2022 Domaine Alphonse Mellot Sancerre La Moussière Magnum (1500ml) is a benchmark Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned La Moussière vineyard in Sancerre, France. Crafted from organically and biodynamically farmed vines and presented in a magnum format, it showcases exceptional purity and ageing potential. The nose is vibrant with aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit and white peach, complemented by delicate floral notes, flint and chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is crisp and beautifully balanced, with bright acidity and a silky texture. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and subtle herbal notes are carried by a distinctive mineral backbone, leading to a long, refreshing finish. The magnum format allows the wine to develop additional complexity while preserving its freshness.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an outstanding choice for lovers of premium Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect for sharing, it pairs beautifully with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, goat's cheese, sashimi or herb-roasted chicken. Enjoy now for its vibrant freshness or cellar for the next 8–12 years as further complexity evolves.
