Joseph Mellot Sancerre Blanc La Grande Chatelaine 2019, 750ml

Country: France, Loire

Grape Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Note:

The top Sancerre cuvée from Joseph Mellot and a comprehensive demonstration of the quality that Sancerre can produce. Fermented and partially aged in a mix of new and seasoned oak barrels. Shows incredible intensity and elegance with a complex palate that evolves in the mouth. Whilst all the typical gooseberry and grassy flavours are there, so much more appears such as candied grapefruit, lime zest and hints of pineapple. 

Food pairing:

• High-acid cheeses such as goats’ or sheeps’ cheese 
• Calamari, cerviche. 
• Steamed, braised chicken, pork, veal
• Good with Thai dishes (less sweet) and moderately spiced fish and shellfish dishes e.g. fish or chicken tagine, harissa
