Medium yellow. Orange blossom and pear on the nose. Medium body, not that dry for a Huet Sec. Marvelous balance, quite approachable, not austere right now. The acidity is deeply embedded but not punishing.
Clear light color. Brambly cranberry nose with wintergreen and licorice. Fine, delicate Volnay weight with a touch of wood. Tart black cherry to blackberry fruit, high acidity, outstanding focus and clarity. Will surely improve but not too shabby right now.
This has continued to close down. Nose very stunted at first. Then somewhat weedy black fruit. Boy, this has really shed its baby fat and is not at a very appealing stage at present.

Magnum. Crisp, snappy lime and chalk. Really satisfying for basic Sancerre cuvee. Excellent palate presence.
