Quite disappointing as it's showing off mainly a diluted wine. Sold as "Le Grand Vin". Even if it's just a brand name, makes me feel a little dirty. They could have made a much better wine this vintage, but they decided to cut corners and make more bottles rather than better bottles…

Light yellow. Tropical, non-descript attractive nose. In the mouth, this is a young rascal, but has all the components that I love about Sancerre.: wondrous acidity from loads of sun but little heat. Kiwi, gooseberries, grass, black currant leaves and plenty of different citrus aromas.
Slight disconnect in the finish and ends a bit short.
Will be exciting to see where it goes over the years to come. Patience is a virtue :-)

Already oxidising. Downright the poorest Sancerre I ever had.
Final bottle, 5/5, and I'm not interested in buying more from a company that doesn't see the value in keeping a minimum standard.
Even if 2018 was a difficult year in Sancerre, this is still mega isht…

Den är sådär...
Saknar stuns och elektricitet.
Funkade dock mycket fint med färsk getost.
Borde ju istället ha smakat som AI:et föreslår:
A wine of bright and crisp flavors
A bouquet of citrus and grass
On the palate, flavors of grapefruit and lime
Mixed with hints of herbs and minerals
A wine of freshness and clarity
A lively and refreshing finish
A true gem from the Sancerre region
A wine to be enjoyed on a sunny day

Btl 2/5
Has a non-seductive artificial feeling ingrained in its core. Didn’t notice this in the orevious bottle.
Still delicious, but makes for less looking forward to the next encounter.
Far from the stronger wines made at this estate :-(
