Loire Valley Alphonse Mellot

Our committee's review

A unique partnership! The undisputed master of Sancerre, Alphonse Mellot crafts some of the appellation’s most refined and expressive wines. A perfectionist winemaker and a pioneer of biodynamic practices, he has, vintage after vintage, established himself as the leading ambassador of the Loire Valley. Every year, his cuvées earn the highest praise, setting the benchmark for excellence.

Longtime partners of the estate, we created this White Sancerre hand in hand with Alphonse Mellot himself. Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World, personally selected the wines that make up this bespoke cuvée—one of the finest expressions of the appellation. An exclusive release available only to our members!

Elegant and precise, the 2022 White Sancerre from Alphonse Mellot x VALAP offers a delicate, chalky texture with perfectly ripe fruit flavors. Bright citrus notes and a hint of flint unfold across a vibrant, finely etched structure—showcasing all the generosity of this beautifully balanced vintage. Pure pleasure from start to finish, with not a single misstep. Enjoy now for its freshness or cellar for another year or two if you're a true devotee of the style.
