  Incroyable jeunesse dans ce sancerre de presque 17 ans, un nez de pur sauvignon, marqué par la splendeur du pamplemousse (jus et zeste), du citron vert, de la mousse de chêne, du végétal frais (herbe humide): quel éclat! Les notes d’évolution sont subtiles, un très léger grillé, qq épices. Globalement la tenue aromatique est assez fraîche, ciselée, et néanmoins complexe.
  En bouche, l’équilibre est d’une justesse étonnante pour son âge. Fine concentration, milieu de bouche parfumé (agrume et fleurs blanches), finale sapide mêlant beaux amers et salinité.
  Un très beau sancerre classique marqué par un terroir puissant et une année fraîche propice aux blancs, sans artifices boisés, et qui sonne juste et précis.

  What a great wine. Reminded me of the 2005 for its precision, minerality, lemony, chalky and honeysuckle notes. Intense and fresh, long finish.

  Fourth bottle from an eight bottle lot purchased in 2009. Pristine condition. Decanted for two-and-a-half hours to separate the wine from the very fine sediment and to let its aromas unfurl. Very youthful appearance, pale to medium white gold with green reflections; the ripe but fresh nose is perfectly clean and youthful, delicately honeyed, with subtle nuances that need a good deal of oxygen to show themselves (waxy bottle-age, flowers, toast, lime zest, orchard fruit, pyrazines); the ripe but zesty palate is energetic and well-balanced, medium-bodied, with firm acidity, elegant and flowing but with appropriate grip; long and relatively tart finish. Exciting stuff, a very good bottle with a good future.

  Third bottle from an eight bottle lot puchased in 2009. It's bright and lively 14 year old, with a nicely honeyed and spicy nose and a zesty and fresh palate, but it lacks the definition and richness which perfect bottles display. The finish is quite dry and raw. I'm suspecting low-level TCA. Not rated.

  Paille doré brillant, vieille or pale.
  Nez minérale, un petit coté salin, fleurs blanches, fruits exotiques, glycine.
  En bouche, petits fruits blancs, minérale, cailloux roulés, acidité bien présente, peu ou pas de résiduel, long, en finesse. Très beau.
  Pourrait avoir une attaque un peu plus soutenue, mais la suite est superbe.
