First time since around 5 years. Light to medium yellow colour. In the nose, this has some wet cardboard at first and is a bit muted, but with more air, it blossoms. Then it has gooseberry, lime and lemon in the nose, chalk and sea breeze. In the mouth, it's bone dry, tight, chalky, it has good acidity and great length, albeit in a bone dry and almost chalk-dusty way. Love it.

It's as if this had been kept at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. Could barely tell it was 16 years old. Beautiful interplay between just-starting-to-get-ripe fruits, saline minerality, acidity. Lovely.

Souper Cassoulet chez les Gauthier: Nez iodé, de coquillage, mais pas propre! Belle texture en bouche, vivacité, mais l'aromatique est déviante, il a quelque chose de réduit, peu agréable. 85 pts

Après une semaine ordinaire côté vin, voilà que j'ouvre ce superbe sancerre avec un risotto maison au hormard. J'avais de grandes attentes. Elles ont été comblées. Wow, un nez très présent sur la pêche, le citron, des fleurs blanches. C'est très expressif. En bouche, une salinité renversante sur une bouche longue et complexe. Un sancerre avec beaucoup de poids. Emballé ! 93 sur 100.

Oyster nose, little bit of lime and fern. Round and soft, pretty classic !
