Beautiful Sancerre in a tough vintage. There is a pronounce jalapeño note that is matched perfectly with grilled pineapple, kiwi, and lime. A grassy vegetal backdrop that is well integrated with the fruit.
Very high acidity, medium - body, pale straw color.
Paired famously with Baja fish tacos.

Fantastic wine – flinty, reductive, smokey nose in the most pleasant way, along with lemon and rock. Beautiful mouthfeel, very mineral, a bit of lemon, rock and a pleasantly salty finish. This is really good, to be drunk on its own or to a light fish dish maybe. Will keep for a long time, but can easily be drunk with much pleasure now.

Another great Sancerre from Claude Riffault. This wine has nice acidity and complex notes of lemon curd and citrus favors. Long finish lingers, particularly for a Sancerre wine.

I really wanted to like this - but ultimately didn't. The quality in the wine is there for sure. But flavour wise it's just not for me. There is a vegative factor there which is just too large to ignore. Not a bad wine, but not a match for me.

L&W Loire tasting. One of the more impressive Sauvignons on display.
Slight preference for this over Les Denisottes, but liked both.
93-94
