Alphonse Mellot Les Penitents Chardonnay, Loire Valley, 2020 Sauvignon Blanc It has pretty scents ofThis Chardonnay comes from a lesser known corner of the Loire Valley, where the limestone rich soils impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The cool climate ensures a slow ripening process, allowing the grapes to develop crisp acidity and freshness. Expect notes of citrus, green apple, and subtle floral hints, balanced by a light, creamy texture.
