Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Les Romains, Loire, France 2021 Sustainable fruity finish with a toastyThe 2021 Les Romains is Mellot's Sancerre off a vineyard on the flinty side of the fault that cuts the appellation in two. In conjunction with the cooler 2021 vintage, the result is a firm, forceful expression, yet there's flesh on its bones, providing some comforting padding to the backbone.
