One of the best buys in the shop. A textbook Southern Rhone!
A long time Bassin's direct import this wonderful Domaine based in the beautiful town of Sablet makes authentic, terroir driven wines that sell for a song. There may be no better "all purpose" red on the planet!
The 2016 vintage saw a hot and dry summer, providing perfect ripening conditions for the grapes. The also dry autumn with cool nights favored a very pure varietal aromatic expression. Complex, fine and elegant. The perfect gift for the wine lover.
What’s most striking about Malleron’s bottle—something the Sancerre obsessives will pick up on from the first sip—is the texture. Yes, this wine has the flinty minerality and floral bouquet. Yes, it’s got the straight line of bright, clean flavors and zippy acidity. But Malleron’s bottle is bolstered with a bit more ripeness—and combined with all of the above, it equals Sancerre at its best.
