Un très beau Sauvignon à la couleur dorée. Il faut lui donner un peu d'aération car au départ, une odeur de souffre est perceptible. Nez de fruits tropicaux (mangue, goyave) mais aussi de fleurs blanches (chrysanthème) En bouche c'est bien sec, mais avec une belle rondeur. Me semble prêt à boire, mais pourra se maintenir quelques années. A très bien accompagné les sushis.

Fresh clean nose with notes of pineapple,citrus fruits,lemon peel,grass,balsamico and herbs, banana peel and a nice sour cream note. No cats pee here. The palate had notes of Pomelo fruit,wet earth and grass,dried exotic fruits, vegetables and huge minerallity.
Clean mouthfeel and nice kicking acid but too short on the finish though. 90+ pts. . .

Pale, green-yellow color. Intensely mineral, saline, ripe pear and lemongrass on the nose. Very fruity, very fresh, very lively on the palate. To my palate this was a prime example of good Sancerre. Paired beautifully with remoulade from Ullapool and grilled monkfish with savoy cabbage, bacon and cream at Two Fat Ladies in Glasgow.

A clean, fresh nose with medium intensity. Straight forward fruit but not as vegetative. A dry, light taste with high acidity, evident bitterness in the finish and also a bit heat. Good taste, very fruity for a sauvignon blanc.

Gentle nose of white flowers, with just a hint of grapefruit. The palate starts off on a gentle grapefruit, a flavour that goes throughout, layered in the mid-palate with blue stone and complemented by a good acidity on the finish. A nice Sancerre, good for drinking now.

Clearly fruity with a balanced medium finish. Very good, but I'm looking for even more acidity and structure in a SB.

Nez : projection d'intensité moyenne, minéral, à tendance exotique sans plus, fruité croquant, agrumes, pamplemousse, zeste de lime, herbacé, tilleul, séveux, frais, invitant, superbe...
Bouche : sec, ample à gras, attaque vive doublée d'une texture plutôt soyeuse, acidité rafraichissante à vive, amertume modérée, rétro sur la lime, la chair d'agrume, minérale, herbacée, silex, pointe de stainless
Conclusion : vibrant, croquant, superbe texture, nez très élégant, on aime.

The nose has lemons and blue stone. The palate is a mix of lemons, pineapple with great minerality on the finish. Nicely balanced acidity.
