Light honey yellow, showing signs of evolution. The nose is open right upon opening, dominated by a tropical fruit aromatic profile. There is also an underlying tension which is perceptible. In the mouth the palate has some weight but the wine is impeccably balanced, the acidity and energy take the driving seat and lead the wine to a sustained, alluring finish. I am not sure this will improve even further with age.

This wine beautifully combines sweet-fruit weightiness with vivid counterbalancing acidity. The nose is complex with tropical, citrus and hint of green fruit. It also has metal, floral notes and vanilla/nuttiness. Slightly higher fruit weight on the palate for a Sancerre, but truly dances on the palate with hard to pin down character that keeps your attention.

Oeil jaune pâle avec des reflets verdâtres; Nez en subtilité, difficle à cerner, tout est en un bloc. Le temps & l'aération font ressortir des notes florales & de l'herbes fraîches. Le miel est aussi perceptible. Dimension empyreumatique & minérale bien présentent. Bouche grasse en attaque, en richesse avec des saveurs de melon & de miel. Alcool perceptible, finale sur les herbes, légèrement citronné. Bonne tension notable du milieu du bouche jusqu'à la finale. Aspect minéral bien présent.

Good colour; classic gunflint, smoky; intense, 'sauvage', smart profile, well weighted; good impact on well balanced finish. Drink now & next 5 years.
