Light straw color, bright and clear. Profound bouquet features kumquat, pineapple, citrus peel, white peach, and apricot... no cat pee here. A delicious gush of fruit and minerals on the palate and plenty of acidity to brace it all. Persistent through a long finish. A little more unabashed and slutty than the Sancerre's I've been tasting - not as elegant or complex, but this is a lot of fun! 4+12+17+8= 91

A nice, good buy SB. Nose a mix of lime, lemon, and gooseberry, with some mineral notes. Palate similarly placed with a good limestone minerality, good acid, citrus dominant notes. Balance good, with a slightly astringent, herbal finish. I want to see how this holds up in a couple years.

Sorry to be a couple weeks late to the party ;) but I also agree with the prior tasters on the overall pleasure this humble wine provides. Right from the pop it has a nice bouquet with a surprisingly rich body, while keeping its crisp Sauv Blanc manners in balance. Even a nice long finish. 4+11+17+8= 90

Judging from previous notes this is the week to try this wine. Concur with the notes by dsamuel and s.wayne, this was a good pairing with pan seared scallops. Yes an aged premier cru white burg would have been a great pairing, but on a low key weeknight waiting for our vaccine appointments this was a superb price-performer. Will buy again.

Deep straw color Medium aromas or fairly ripe lime/ citrus with green grass/ fresh herbs and chalk Medium palate - linear - ripe citrus/ herbs with nice minerality on finish High acid and medium plus alcohol with a rather short finish Dry glass aromas of green grass and herbs Well made Loire SB with no flaws at all but really no wow factor here Drink now or 2-3 yrs

Dry, lively and lemony. Nice, like all the previous bottles. Worked well with bruschetta appetizer...

Perfectly paired with pesto pasta with chicken. Green with green! As always, a nice alternative to Sancerre. Great Loire Sauvignon Blanc...
