This wine is a perfect example of a classic Chablis 1er Cru. Its exposure to a relatively cool morning sun ensures its elegance and enhances its minerality & richness drawn from the calcare-ous and clay subsoil. It has a rich yellow gold color with green hints and its nose reveals aromas of mint & pineapple. Its flavours are full & freshness dominates, with a long persistent finish.

Biodynamic. La Moussière is one of the great vineyards of the Loire Valley. Cultivated with incredibly rocky, limestone-rich soils, this gently rolling vineyard lies on the ancient Saint-Doulchard marls, which form a part of the great Kimmeridgian chain (à la Chablis). Coupled with Mellot’s meticulous biodynamic farming and low yields, it’s a terroir responsible for some of Sancerre’s most striking and atypical wines. As usual, 50% of this wine underwent fermentation in huge wooden fermenters and was raised in oak casks—a fact that in no way compromises the fabulous purity and energy on offer. The balance of the wine was fermented and raised in traditional concrete vats before blending. All the wine was aged on fine lees for a period of roughly 12 months, further enhancing the wine’s famously deep and pulpy texture.
