Alphonse Mellot 2014 Les Herses (Sancerre)

Country: France / Les Herses
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Loire Valley
Winery: Alphonse Mellot / Sancerre

From a single vineyard on flinty silex soil, this is a taut and concentrated wine. Its intensity is enhanced by the tense texture and powerful youthful acidity. At this stage, it is still young, still with its exuberant fruit. So wait to drink this wine until 2018.
