Un sancerre fin, digeste, finement fruité (l’incontournable pamplemousse), un peu végétal (pointe de mousse, herbe fraîche, de vétiver), qui m’évoquait immanquablement un terroir froid, un peu austère qui avec le temps aurait gardé toute sa droiture, sa rectitude. Aucune lourdeur donc pour ce sauvignon de terroir, certes d’une longueur assez moyenne, mais tout à fait recommandable pour son style « rien qui dépasse »…

Pale straw gold. Nose of grapefruit, grass, lime, white gravel, alpine flowers. Layers of flinty stone, white pear, grapefruit, and semi-tart lemon on the incisive palate. Brisk acidity and tensile spine. Long finish of stony white fruit and crisp, tart citrus. Continues to evolve beautifully.

This is just about everything I want in a Sancerre. Smooth rocks, very bright acidic tang, lovely fruit flavors and hints of flint and matchstick. The body and texture just feels classy. Gives my Boulays a serious run for the money.

Light to medium gold color. Blooming nose of hyacinth, grapefruit, lime, grass, and cool white stone. Layers of mouth-watering lemon and grapefruit joined by steel and stone on the incisive palate. Brisk acidity and aristocratic spine. Lengthy finish of citrus and flinty rock. A superb pairing with garlic prawns over pasta.
