Tasting notes
Displaying white fruit and floral aromas along with lemon flavors, the 2015 Sancerre La Moussière is very clear and smoky on the nose, which indicates a picture-book Sancerre. Grown on kimmeridgian marl and limestone soils, La Moussière is the estate’s flagship cuvée insofar as it represents the Alphonse Mellot style in perfection. The wine is full-bodied, rich and round, a very intense and fruity, but also well-structured wine with firm grip and authentic character.
