Soft aromas, but quite earthy, with gravel and graphite, plenty of sweet dirt covered strawberries, some green briar. Funky Pinoty fruit flavors on the palate initially, with nice acidity throughout. Very soft, light and elegant, but also quite delicious palate, and pretty light, but so soft and pretty. Acidity rises up quickly on the finish and things get really earthy (and a bit funky) and juicy fruited. It's a bit sour red fruit, kind of like a blend between a lime and an under ripe strawberry. Overall quite a soft, smooth Sanserre; light, funky, but nice.

Clear cherry; fragrant nose: ripe cherries, raspberries, wild strawberries waft around a minerally, stony gout de terroir. Medium-bodied, with ripe, soft red fruits balanced and framed by crisp acidity and ripe, delicate tannins. Not especially concentrated, but open and pretty. Nicely made, and drinking very well in the short term: best while the fruit is so sweet and seductive. Short, very clean finish.

Very light, what I would expect from cool climate pinot. Very nice, especially if this is what was expected.
