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

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

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

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

The bouquet is fresh and very floral. The color is a vibrant ruby red with an immediate taste of tart red raspberries. A full zing, medium tannins, along with a silky and smooth finish. Paired well with a Cosmic apple, sharp cheddar, champagne blueberry preserves, Marcona almonds, and fresh raspberries and blackberries! A true gem! — 5 years ago

Green apple, peach, mineral and floral notes right after opening. As it warms up has a slightly oily sensation reminiscent of lemon peel. At an even later stage a sweet aroma of fennel seeds. Nice long finish with a slight hint of refreshing bitterness. Hint of smokiness as well. Rounded mouthfeel with good and balanced acidity. — 7 years ago
