The Domaine Joseph Mellot is still family owned, based in Sancerre, where the family origins stretch back to 1513. This is Eton Vintners’ Christmas choice for Sauvignon Blanc this year. Resplendent in the glass and elegant and floral on the nose, it has hints of lemon and grapefruit. The palate shows good aromatics and balance. We love this pure Sauvignon as an aperitif, or it goes well with grilled or marinated chicken, smoked and fried fish, lobster and spicy food.

More Information
Sauvignon
Few white grapes are as universally recognisable. While most are content to aim for no more than citrussy simplicity, Sauvignon Blanc is irrepressible. Its intensely green verve, tart fruit and racy acidity have driven plantings in nearly every cool grape-growing region on the globe. Though the south west of France and the more northern Loire Valley both claimed it as their own for many years, it has in the last generation found a new spiritual home in Marlborough, on New Zealand‘s South Island.
