  An amazing Sancerre. Quite restrained and orchestrated with a lite more fruit. This is built to last.
  
  Delivers a beautiful Sb-bouquet of nettles, 🥝 kiwi and black currants. Not at all towards cat's pee. There's a vague flowery branch as well. The steely minerality is more in the nose than on the palate. Long, refined, beautiful that makes you beg for more.
  
  On the palate this sang beautifully with Monseigneur Baguette with chèvre, sliced red onion and rocket salad.

  Quite good with a pasta vongole as the spicy seafood pasta takes the edge away from the wine's acidity and sauvignon pungency. The fruit is on the ripe side, which I actually liked, making it less steely. is there a hint of oak? I think so but was not paying full attention.

  Pale yellow with hints of green. Aromatic with lots of gooseberries on the nose. Gooseberries and blackcurrant leaves on the palette.

  Nose > Both herbal/grassy & ripe, with fig, nectarine, red cherry & plum.
  Not altogether harmonious, & the disparate elements are fighting each other.
  Don't see it harmonizing to anything that's typical of Sancerre ahead.
  Palate > More enjoyable, & slightly more typical on the palate. Still the combo of ripe/rich & herbaceous/grassy.
  Adds a hint of almond to the nectarine. Acidity could be better.
  Not sure if they were trying for mix of grape ripenesses, but they don't quite pull it off anyway.
  Not a bad wine, per se, but not what most are expecting when the pop a bottle of Sancerre.
  (I might score it a point, or point+ higher, but not as a Sancerre, since it's strayed from the beaten path a bit).
