Pale gold. Nose of grass, grapefruit, sea air, blades of flint, white stone. Layers of crisp grapefruit, grassy apricot, and pinpoint white pebble on the precise, stony palate. Bright acidity and splendid mineral spine. Long finish of pure citrus and schist. Delightful.

Pale lemon color Medium plus aroma intensity - ripe lemon/ unripe mango/ orange zest with green herbs and grass - fairly complex Medium bodied with full palate of preserved lemon and dried apricot/ peach - linear with rather rounded edges for SB High acidity with medium alcohol and minimal phenolics Moderate length on the finish Nice Sancerre - more going on here than is the norm and I really like the mouthfeel Drink now but can prob go another 2-3 yrs

Quite nice, somewhat softer than expected, with less minerality/chalk and citrus, more stone fruit than other vintages, a bit of grass, lime, light lemon. Moderate length, nice finish, fuller body, perhaps due to fruit and for this bottle anyway lighter acidity.

Sancerre isn’t typically a “wow” wine for me but this is an exception. Crazy concentration of citrus, almond, and underripe peach both nose and palate. Acid where it should be, alcohol in check and finish long long long. I’d serve this to anyone wondering what Sancerre is capable of delivering.
Excellent Sancerre. Explosive cornucopia of grapefruit, citrus and peach fruit with great minerality on the finish. Beautifully balanced with a full mouth feel, particularly for a Sancerre.

Very pale gold hue....legs take their time to form... Really great mouthfeel that borders on thick for a white,, Grassy herbal with an incredible red grapefruit finish that just gets lifted beautifully by the acidity.....well balanced... not a huge fan of Sauvignon blanc but this is really great..some peach notes sneak in as well.... My score is relative to other sancerre’s I have tried...
A very elegant and refined Sancerre Aromas included dried fennel and thyme and other dried herbs Subtle but powerfully ripe grapefruit Extremely complex This is delicious now and I can’t wait to try my second bottle several years from now

Pale golden color. Nice medium intense nose that is a bit closed at this point. aromas of orchard fruits, ripe peach and fresh grass. Medium body, dry, smooth texture with high but balanced acidity. Light flavours of ripe peach and vegetal. some spiciness. Lots of energy. Good length. Still young but already open for business.

Strågul. Aroma av smørblomst. Oljeaktig, rund, mild, med en snert av syrlig lime i avslutningen. En helt spesiell Sancerre.

This is a very nice sancerre with a palate of fresh cut grass, dried apricot, straw and a hint of citrus.

Pleasant surprise. Nice complexity but still has the fruit to be a crowd pleaser. In a good drinking window now.

Honeyed lemon and white peach. Fresh lifted but a good mouthful. Some complexity and good length.

Great wine with huge potential. Seems to be closed right now. But beautiful acidity with flattering nose of pineapple
