A delicious Sancerre that is showing its maturity and starting to show characteristics of age. I recommend enjoying remaining bottles in the near future.

Nose of honeysuckle, fresh cut hay, with a moderating hint of sea air. On the palate a gathering richness of lychee with firm acid backing, lovely balance of fruit and acid in the smooth transition to the long acid finish. A lovely mature and balanced wine of great subtlety and grace. 50 + 16 + 17 + 9 = 92.

Sea air, yellow grass, golden quince on the nose. Crystalline depths of rich acid-laced fruit on the palate, precise cut and intense drive to a clean lingering acid finish. 50 + 17 + 17 + 8 = 92.

A delicious crackling Sancerre with a shy nose of dry grass, white pepper, and perfumed quince. Electric focus on the palate with excellent mid-palate weight, nice dose of fruit at the back moving into a long fruit-driven acid finish. Balanced like a spear; clears the cobwebs of the mind. 50 + 16 + 18 + 9 = 93.

this bottle had not gone bad by any means. However, it was showing more signs of age than we enjoy in a good Sancerre.
