100% Pinot Noir from 30 year old vines in a southeast-facing, 0.8-hectare plot on flint on flinty clay soils.
"Alphonse Mellot junior, 19th generation of the flagship domaine in Sancerre, has 53 biodynamically farmed hectares of vines and offers a range of remarkably clear, elegant and polished single vineyard Sancerres. Several of these—Edmond, Les Romains and Generation Dix-Neuf—are outstanding in terms of their concentration, precision and expression. I have spread my scores this year a bit wider, because I really felt differences in complexity between the wines, rather than just style differences. Pinot Noir freaks should taste the 2014 Les Herses." Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate, Oct 2016
