Plan a wine trip to Alphonse Mellot — Femente builds the route.
Alphonse Mellot produces Sauvignon Blancs from Sancerre, the limestone-rich terroir of the Upper Loire Valley. The winery's portfolio centers on expressions of this singular varietal across distinct vineyard sites. Génération Dix-Neuf Sancerre, Le Paradis Sancerre, and Les Herses Sancerre Blanc represent the range of the house's work. Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre typically displays mineral precision and herbaceous character shaped by the region's chalk and flint soils. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff.
