Loire Valley Alphonse Mellot

Our committee's review

This is a truly exceptional partnership. Widely regarded as the master of Sancerre, Alphonse Mellot produces some of the appellation’s most elegant and expressive wines. A perfectionist in the vineyard and a pioneer of biodynamic farming, he has become a leading ambassador for the Loire Valley. Year after year, his wines set the benchmark for excellence—earning every bit of praise they receive.

As long-time partners of the estate, we worked directly with Alphonse Mellot to create this 2022 White Sancerre—a wine crafted at the very top of the appellation. The juice was hand-selected by Olivier Poussier, named Best Sommelier in the World, to produce a truly bespoke wine. This exclusive bottling is 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.
