Owner and history

The Le Paradis vineyard is an exceptional plot situated on the limestone and clay-siliceous slopes of Sancerre, benefiting from an ideal exposure that promotes the slow and harmonious ripening of the grapes. This unique terroir gives the wine its remarkable balance between tension and depth, with a mineral signature for which the great Sauvignon Blancs of the Loire Valley are renowned. The vineyard is cultivated using organic and biodynamic practices, promoting biodiversity and soil vitality. The plots are maintained without chemical inputs, with natural ground cover and light tilling, guaranteeing wines of remarkable authenticity and purity.

Vinification and aging

At Domaine Alphonse Mellot, winemaking respects tradition while incorporating modern advancements to enhance each vintage. The grapes are harvested at peak ripeness and meticulously sorted, guaranteeing impeccable quality. Fermentation takes place in truncated conical wooden vats and barrels, allowing the wine to develop its full aromatic complexity. Aging for 10 to 12 months on fine lees adds depth and texture to this exceptional cuvée. This process refines the aromas and gives the wine a remarkable length on the palate, highlighting the nobility of its terroir.

The team's opinion

Au nez, il dévoile un bouquet intense d'agrumes, de fleurs blanches et une forte empreinte minérale de pierre à fusil. En bouche, le vin offre une matière tendue, dense et ciselée, soutenue par une vive acidité et une finale saline d'une belle longueur. C'est un grand Sancerre de gastronomie, élégant et taillé pour la garde, idéal pour accompagner des fruits de mer, des poissons nobles ou un traditionnel Crottin de Chavignol.
