March 28, 2024 - At first the nose seemed a tad off, possibly advanced, but the palate seemed proper for a mid weight 8 year old Sancerre. While the nose was a minor distraction, it was not enough to enjoy a rather nice drinking experience. Going back 3 hrs later, the 'off' nose had morphed into a lovely orange - orange blossom scented beauty. Fascinating.

June 29, 2021 - A very good Sancerre. Nose starting to show some maturation. Chives, gooseberry, mineral. Palate quite acidic and fresh, with substantial mineral extract - almost overpowering fruit. seawater, gooseberry and quince on palate. Moderate length. not on par with the 2014, but very good.

September 9, 2018 - Good vintage—bright, energetic, yellow fruit, quite steely. Nothing grassy or vegetal here. Should be better with a few years but not necessary.
