Joseph Mellot La Chatellenie Sancerre 2014
Sancerre, Upper Loire, Loire, FranceSancerre, is there a better sauvignon blanc for the money. Flint-rich chalky clay soils are the story here with simple winemaking, low fermentation temperatures in stainless steel and ageing on the fine lees. The steep slopes of the La Chatellenie vineyard yield a fresh persistent white with ‘flinty’ nuances that support a piercing citrus, gooseberry, lime zest flavoured white with flecks of orange and equally balanced acidity. A fabulous wine for shellfish or even more complex fish dishes. Delicious. Take that Burgundy.Tasted: 21 October 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $38.00 | 750ml | private wine shops, restaurants |
