Ripe stone fruit and honeyed florals show uncommon richness for Sancerre. The palate delivers impressive weight, with bright citrus cutting through melon and pear while chalky minerals anchor the finish. Mellot's Burgundian approach creates distinctive depth that elevates this beyond typical Loire expression.
