🍇 Tasting Notes

Pale straw with green reflections. The nose shows classic aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit and white peach, alongside delicate floral and flinty mineral notes. On the palate it is dry and crisp, with lively acidity, bright citrus fruit and a clean, mineral-driven finish that gives length and finesse.

🍽️ Food Pairing

Excellent with goat’s cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), oysters, grilled fish, prawns and fresh salads. Also pairs well with herb-led dishes and light poultry. Serve chilled at 8–10 °C.

🏡 Winemaking & Reigon

Crafted by Joseph Mellot, one of the Loire Valley’s most respected family producers, this wine comes from the Menetou-Salon AOC in the eastern Loire, near Sancerre. The area’s limestone and clay soils contribute to the wine’s trademark minerality and freshness.

Careful vineyard management and cool stainless-steel fermentation preserve aromatic purity and precision, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc that is refined, terroir-driven and highly food-friendly.
