Really continue to fall in love with this wine. Light ruby in color (not yet tawney like the 2019 I had) with aroma of fresh pressed cherry juice and some baking spice and earthy notes. It's the first time I thought of the description of forest floor or decomposing leaves. (in a good way)
Light bodied and nice balamc of between the fruit and acidity

Liked it even better the second time. Needs a moment to open up, but wonderful notes of earth and cherry and chocolate with a balance of acidity. Light/medium body.

The wine is clear, almost water. Nose is subtil, lemon ish.

It's a really easy wine to drink. It have the acidity to drink it with crab legs but it's easy enough to drink it on the side of the pool on a hot summer day

A bit fat.. 14% ABV, low acidity and not a whole lot of aromatics either. Drank more like a reductive nondescript Bourgogne Blanc. Not terrible, but not a whole lot of character.

Bright mid gold. Nose has some passionfruit and other tropical notes with some herbaceousness. A little bit of sauvignon pong but not off-putting or surprising given the age. Nice weight. No sense of drying out or oxidation. Really delicious if you like aged Loire sauvignon.

Moins grandiose que pes millesime precedent. On est vraiment plus sur le gazon fraîchement coupé, beaucoup de vegetal avec une amertume plus prononcé, moins minérale. Quand meme très bon, mais moins wow

Still very pale. Nose predominantly of white grapefruit. Very little in the way of green notes. The palate is tight, concentrated and structured. I've only begun to appreciate the ageing potential of Loire sauvignons, and I see plenty of up-side here--maybe 5 years.

Light translucent salmon color. 100% Pinot Noir. I felt it could have used a bit more acidity and could be less sweet. I enjoyed it more after an hour or so. Good value, so I might buy again and revisit.

Turning a bit brick in color or tawney with some age. Aroma is of cranberry & earthy notes.. As it opened some notes of smoke came out. Enjoyed more & more through the glass..

Interesting Sancerre.
Based on the flavor profile I had to double check the grape - tasted different than I would have expected for a sauvignon blanc from the Loire region. This is a smaller appellation next to Sancerre - Menetou-Salon.

This vintage in France was one of the strongest in recent years, with a warm growing season - bringing out the warm weather characterics of Sauvignon Blanc, rather then the more typical citrus flavors.

Flavors of Apple and pear with good minerality. Not as acidic as one would expect from a region next to Sancerre, but nicely balanced.

Very enjoyable and surprising - will need to grap some more bottles of this.

Pnp, then retasted through two days. Nice flavours of honey, pomelo albedo's bitter, green lemon acidity, mineral and good length with this vegetal ending. Quite intense but this finish needs an appropriate dish match. I was sure to have a chenin, but that's a sauvignon blanc, what a dumb ...

Je seconde le commentaire de RAAGE.
Superbe Pinot de Loire.
Il a soulevé des questions à l'ouverture mais, aération aidant, il s'est rapidement délié et a révélé une multitude de facettes. Belle complexité.
Portée par l'acidité, les tanins sont présents mais assez aimables. Belle prise minérale.
On aime... beaucoup!

Impressive Menetou. Weighty, which Loire Sauvignon Blanc isn’t now days, though weighty in a good way meaning not from the fruit but from the structure. Continuing in that vein the wine is less fruit driven and crunchier towards the herbs and acid aspect of S Blanc. If you have it in your cellar it drinks well and interesting now but some time is not going to hurt it.

Our last bottle of the 2021. Still fresh and vibrant, not especially fruity but very attractive as a wine with fish. A bargain alternative to Sancerre but a very well made wine in its own right.

100% Loire Valley Pinot Noir. Dark (almost totally opaque) red color. Earthy nose of mushroom and forest floor with hints of black cherry/berry fruit and violets. The palate is full of ripe red and black berry fruit with touches of mushroom, cola, nutmeg and minerals. Long finish with medium body and bright acidity. Pretty bold and funky.
