Alphonse Mellot : La Moussière 2024

In a vintage when many wines are lacking in ripeness, Alphonse Mellot's signature cuvée stands out. This bold style, with some evident oak, is ripe, rounded and relatively weighty. Almost Burgundian in style, it has lovely concentration and a lush texture. With delicious bready notes and even a hint of pineapple, the fresh, mineral acidity keeps everything in check. It has both energy and density, presence and finesse. The finish is long and smooth. Really impressive.
