Joseph Mellot 2007 La Grande Cuvée des Edvins Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
This Pouilly Fumé works well, balancing the ripe yellow and pineapple fruits with toast and spice notes to give a rounded, richly textured wine. It is now mature, while retaining a fruity character on the finish.

Joseph Mellot 2008 Domaine des Mariniers Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $20
A single estate run by Joseph Mellot, this produces an impressive ripe style of Sauvignon Blanc, at this stage youthful with exuberant white fruits and grapefruit, and an obvious need to age for 1–2 years.

Joseph Mellot 2005 Le Chant des Vignes Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $26
Big-hearted and round, this is a full wine, with apple pie and cream flavors leading to a crisp, mineral aftertaste. It’s delicious, very drinkable now, packed with ripe but refreshing fruit.

Joseph Mellot 2009 La Grande Châtelaine Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
This is an attractive wood-aged wine that puts spice and vanilla notes at the same level as the fruitiness. It retains an aromatic character, with hints of green fruit and citrus. Keep for another year.

Joseph Mellot 2006 La Chatellenie Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $26
Soft and grassy, with some asparagus flavors, this is ripe, but still vibrant, adding green apples to grapefruit, with some white pears. Easy and rich in the mouth.

Joseph Mellot 2008 La Chatellenie Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $25
A smooth creamy textured wine, the fruit flavors softened by ripeness and an edge that is just sweet. Good acidity gives it a fresh streak, the flavors of white currants, green plums and grapefruit coming out of a smoky edge. Screwcap.

Joseph Mellot 2008 Le Tronsec Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $20
Fine ripe fruit here, with plenty of sweet apple and pear flavors. The wine is ripe, soft, open, maybe lacking concentration but with a great tangy herbaceous character. Screwcap.

Joseph Mellot 2010 Les Morinières Cabernet Franc (Chinon)
- Online Exclusive
Rich and firm, this has dry tannins set over the red berry fruits and acids. There is a crisp edge to go with the firm core. This is a wine to age for 2–3 years or drink this year.
