Like so many 2010 Sancerres, finally coming into balance. Citrus on the nose, crisp, dry attack, good stuffing on the palate, providing a sense of weight. Roundness developing on the long finish, with the funk of past bottles nearly gone. Should remain excellent for several years.

This was excellent last year (2 years from vintage; would have rated it 90). Now (aged 3) it seems to me to be past peak. I might have described it as restrained, but having tried it before - I must conclude it's either past peak or there's substantial bottle variation. The previous bottle certainly benefited from keeping a few months after release but based on the evidence, I would not keep it for longer. There may be a small improvement after 45 minutes in the glass but overall, this bottle did not meet our expectations. Citrusy, but non-distinct.

Excellent Sancerre, lots of fruit and a sauvignon nose with a rounded acidity to balance it. Stored for a year which was perfect. Long taste and very refreshing. Highly recommended, will try other vintages as well.

Sleek, stylish but rather anodyne. Not doubt will age well, but to what purpose.
