Critics Ratings

'High-toned mint, sweet lime, and ripe honeydew melon scent and lusciously inform the palate of Mellot's 2010 Sancerre Les Romains, which boasts a clarity, primary juiciness, and absence of overt oakiness that could unfortunately not be claimed for the corresponding Demoiselle and Satellite. This is not to suggest, though, that the present wine lacks the estate signature of polish and textural caress borne of the lees. Sweet-saline and iodine-tinged intimations of shrimp shell reduction serve for delightful saliva-inducement and nut oils for rich piquancy in a long, superbly savory, persistently fruit-filled finish. Look for this beauty to perform admirably for at least the better part of a decade.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Jun 2012)
