Note di degustazione
The 2021 Les Romains is Mellot's Sancerre off a vineyard on the flinty side of the fault that cuts the appellation in two. In conjunction with the cooler 2021 vintage, the result is a firm, forceful expression, yet there's flesh on its bones, providing some comforting padding to the backbone. Expect refined citrus, elderflower and boxwood flavors on the precise finish.

Les Romains is a flint and chalk parcel that sits on the outskirts of the town of Sancerre, and the 2021 vintage gives a refined and elegant expression. There's tenderness through the core, which is scented with nettle and elderflower notes, pear and just-ripe pineapple, which linger long on the finish. Tasted as a finished sample in tank.
