Community Tasting Note

  May 11, 2014 - Une version plus qui parait plus travaillée du Monts Damnés, mais il est sans doute simplement plus mûr, car il est élevé en cuve.
  Au nez, des notes de citron confit et d’herbes fraiches, d'estragon.
  La récolte était sans doute bien mûre car ce Sancerre montre un beau fruit, une belle richesse, avec une saine acidité qui rehausse le tout et apporte la fraicheur naturelle de l’appellation. La finale est subtile et longue. C’est un très beau Sancerre, avec plus de chair que la moyenne, qui parait donc plus dodu, moins tranchant que d’autres vins de l’appellation, superbement équilibré. Avenir assuré. 93 pts
  
  De mémoire, le Monts Damnés « régulier » était plus ouvert et minéral, j’ignore lequel je préfère, il faudrait les prendre côte à côte.

  "A version that seems more polished over the Monts Damnes, but it is probably just more mature, because it is high in tank.
  On the nose, candied lemon and fresh herbs, tarragon.
  The harvest was probably ripe for it Sancerre shows a beautiful fruit, a nice richness, with a healthy acidity that enhances and brings all the natural freshness of the appellation. The finish is long and subtle. This is a very nice Sancerre, with more flesh than the average, which therefore seems plumper, less sharp than other wines of the appellation, superbly balanced. Secure future. 93 pts
  
  From memory, the Monts Damnes "regular" was more open and mineral, I know which I prefer, it would take together."

  « A version of the Monts Damnes which seems more polished, but it is probably just riper, as it is also raised just in tanks.
  The nose reveals notes of candied lemon and fresh herbs, of tarragon.
  The harvest must have been ripe as this Sancerre shows beautiful fruit, a nice richness, with a healthy acidity that enhances the whole and brings up the appellation’s natural freshness. The finish is long and subtle. This is a very nice Sancerre, with more flesh than the average, it therefore seems plumper, less zesty than other wines of the appellation, superbly balanced.

  From memory, the « regular » Monts Damnés was more open and mineral, I don’t know which one I prefer, would need to have them side by side."
