  Some classical SauvBlanc notes of freshly cut grass, white cassis, gooseberries and some silex. Very precise, the primary fruit nicely framed by minerality. This Sancerre performs way above average and is a Producer to watch out for. Just had a 79 Baron de L, amazing how long those wines can hold and develop.

  Vin pâle au nez de citron évanescent.
  
  Superbe expression du sauvignon: La bouche s'ouvre sur les agrumes et
  un milieu légèrement vanillé. Des notes d'herbes vertes (fraiches) et d'aiguillettes de sapin complexifie l'ensemble.
  
  Frais, sec, pur ... Un régal.
  
  C'est un peu court en ce moment, mais il faut lui laisser du temps.

  Hint of white grape juice, not as citrusy as some. Pleasant but similar wines are cheaper.

  Great value for the price. Good nose, also showing some subtle nectarine and hint of passion fruit. Grapefruit on the palate. Needs to breath for 20+ minutes in the glass for best results.
