Description
The white wine Alphonse Mellot La Moussière is an exceptional expression of French viticulture, standing out for its quality and tradition. Produced in the Sancerre region of the Loire Valley, this wine reflects the richness and diversity of its terroir.
Alphonse Mellot La Moussière is made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc, a variety that is perfectly adapted to the geological and climatic conditions of Sancerre. The 34-hectare vineyard benefits from a south-south-west exposure, with marl soils and an upper kimmeridgian subsoil. The planting density varies between 8,000 and 10,000 vines per hectare, which contributes to the concentration and complexity of the wine.
Winemaking
Alphonse Mellot La Moussière is made from vines ranging in age from 4 to 40 years old, with an average yield of 53 hl/ha. Harvesting is done in small 25 kg crates, and all bunches are carefully selected. This meticulous process ensures the quality of each bottle. Vinification includes pneumatic pressing and static racking at temperatures below 10°C for approximately 48 hours. Fermentation takes place partially in new barrels and vats, at temperatures ranging from 18 to 23°C. The wine is then aged on fine lees for 7 to 8 months. The annual production of La Moussière is approximately 240,000 bottles.
Taste
Alphonse Mellot La Moussière stands out for its vivacity and balance. It has a beautiful golden hue with green highlights. Its bouquet is a charming floral and fruity bouquet, seductive in its purity and frankness. On the palate, the wine is lively, supple and lively, reflecting the quality of the grapes and the vintage. La Moussière is a wine that tells the story of a job well done, respecting nature and the celestial order. Its balanced and lively flavour makes it an ideal accompaniment to a variety of dishes, from fish tartare to a chanterelle omelette.
