Mellots’ family name dates back to 1513 and a long history with Sancerre. Ruby with aromas of red fruits, spice and floral notes, aged in 50% new oak. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of herb spice and smoky oak. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and slight earthy character, very nice! — 2 months ago

Haven’t had much luck with red Sancerre until tonight at Blanchard’s in Anguilla (worth a diversion!). Velvety, powerful and mushroom-weighted with age, black tea, gritty minerality. So nice. Drink up. — 4 years ago

Really an excellent Pinot noir from Sancerre. After my wife and I took a sip we both exclaimed that we need to start buying more Sancerre rouge - just a great quality / price ratio, especially for Pinot noir. This is ruby red, with a dusty cherry nose. A touch restrained on the palate with lots of minerality coming through - great cherry notes on the palate, long finish. Really nice. — 7 years ago

Unbelievable acids that shine through. Though this Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre is barrel aged on fine lees that contributes to the softness of on the palate. You have the luxury of everything the fruit has to offer in the most balanced Sancerre I’ve had to date. Definitely worthy of the retail price of $88. — 7 years ago
