Sancerre La Moussiere Alphonse Mellot 2021 (750ML)

90 Points, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous: "The 2021 Sancerre La Moussiere was tasted as a finished wine still in tank and offers attractive purity and balance. There's tenderness through the mid palate, concentration and ripe fruit, which is no mean feat in the cool 2021 season." 07/22

91 Points, Jim Budd, Decanter: "An impressive 2021 with quite ripe, rich, mouth-filling fruit with notes of grapefruit. Currently it is a little tight in the well-balanced finish, but I expect the young 2021 will develop further in bottle. The long established Alphonse Mellot domaine, with 52ha in the Sancerre appellation, has its cellars right in the centre of the town of Sancerre. La Moussière is a more than 30ha south-facing parcel planted on Kimmeridgian marne on the left hand side of the main road to Bourges. Around 50% of La Moussière is barrel fermented." 03/22
