Compare Alphonse Mellot 'La Folie' Sancerre Prices

Award: Independent Wines Direct Tasting - Angela Mount 2014 - Angela Mount's Top French Wines From Waitrose Cellar

Tasting notes:
Another classic from the Loire valley, this time from one of the most respected producers in the famous Sancerre region of the Loire. This is the true home of Sauvignon Blanc, where the wines have a vibrant, herbaceous character, and frequently more subtle than their New World Sauvignon Blanc counterparts. This one, new to the Waitrose range, has a bright, lemony freshness, with hints of freshly cut herbs and a vibrant, zestily dry backbone, with lovely ripe, gooseberry fruit flavours. It’s also biodynamic, which means the grapes have been grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides. It’s a classic at any time of year and is perfect with pan-fried bream or any white fish, with a creamy sauce and THE match for goats cheese salad.
