June 7, 2015 - Never thought that Sancerre would hold it vivacity for this long. Felt crisp, with a mix of minerality and fruit that made this wine a cross of old and new world, however never would be confused with a new world

April 11, 2013 - Bright and floral nose. Melon an stony notes. The only other Sancerre I've had was unfortunately overly sweet. This however had a lovely balance of fruit and slate. Just enough acid in the finish. Went great with our ham and cheese toasted sandwiches!

November 28, 2012 - Day 1 had too much lemon pith for me. Day 2 was a little more mellow, which allowed some more fruit to show. But it lacked the minerality and cleanliness that the 2011 Petit Bourgeois has - and that costs ~40% less!
