ELITE
Génération XIX, an expression of the 19th generation of the family name is a magnificently balanced cuvee that Alphonse Mellot owes to the almost hundred-year-old vines flourishing in the heart of the estate.
This 100% Sauvignon white has a pleasingly complex nose mixing honey, lemon and dried fruits, and a shimmering pale gold robe, and is full, fresh and rich on the palate with a saline finish.
Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Sancerre Génération Dix-Neuf (XIX) opens with a very clear, pure and, given the warm and dry vintage, beautifully fresh and mineral-scented bouquet with flinty and yeasty notes intermingled with white fruit aromas. Generously fruity but also salty, pure and tensioned on the palate, this is a full-bodied and elegant but thrilling 2018 Sancerre with a spectacularly long and iodine-laced finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2022. Best after 2022.
