  August 15, 2016 - This would be among the best Sancerre's that we have had. On the open (when the wine was chilled), the flavor profile was dominated by limestone, sea shells and mineral. As the wine "warmed", there was a lovely transition to more citrus, especially grapefruit. Also, as the wine "warmed", there was a a noticeable transition to a more voluptuous mouthfeel.

  August 7, 2015 - 50F. Opened 30 min. Nose with apricot and stone fruit, a little muted. Some lemon. Nice palate with crispness and well integrate: stone, grass, even a hint of tropical fruit and long finish. Pleasant, easy drinker. Some complexity mostly on late palate and in finish. Well made. Not overwhelmed by acid as in 2013.

  September 21, 2014 - Très variétal à l'ouverture, tranchant et un peu brut, il est bien meilleur le lendemain il est alors minéral et précis, superbe. 88 puis 91 pts...

  August 23, 2014 - Franchement excellent, léger mais presque gracieux, avec une belle élégance et une salinité intrigante en finale.
