  This seems a satisfactory example of its type but was overshadowed by the Champagne which preceded.
  
  PS 24 hours later - The wine has benefited from 24 hours one-third empty in the fridge as well as from absence of proximity of BdeB Champagne. It showed attractive fruit with gooseberry and other typical Sauvignon nuances and a nice underlying roundness as well as crispness. I would call it now a very nice example of its type (88 points) and a QPR substitute for Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, some of which are becoming pretty pretentious.
