Loire Valley France Enjoyabilityfactor 98 Rating This wine belongs to the highest class of white wines from the Loire. The Joseph Mellot winery has been owned by the Mellot family since 1513. The wine has a perfect golden yellowish color. The aroma smells of grilled almonds, candied fruit and honey. On the palate, it is clean, fresh with still living acidity, with a full body and a long closure. This wine is bottled in Old French bottles with a massive bulge of the bottom.
