Blending five vineyards (and soil types including marl, limestone and sandstone laminae) in Chavignol, Mellot's 2020 Sancerre Satellite offers a pure, elegant, delicately fresh and aromatic bouquet of white stone fruits and crushed stones. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this is an elegant, dense and lush, finely structured and persistent Sancerre with intense Peruvian cherry and yellow plum aromas. This 2020 is beautifully balanced and less mighty than the corresponding La Moussière. The finish is stimulatingly grippy and reveals a perfectly fine tannin structure as well as ripeness. A gorgeous wine to drink now. 13% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in January 2022.

Shows beautiful concentration to the flavors of sweet lime, green plum, mirabelle plum and white asparagus, which are cut with a firming beam of acidity. Chalky minerals add depth and detail, and the long finish features a refreshing menthol note. A complete, harmonious and delicious wine. Drink now through 2025. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported.
