Initially started with classic Sancerre grassy herbal dominated aromas with a touch of pear, white flowers and minerality. Rich on the palate with a certain roundness to it, likely indicative of the vintage, but with good intensity and bright acidity. After being open for a little bit, it started to pick up aromas of stone fruit and gained a little more weight. Overall, well made and nicely balanced.

Given the normal quality this has this is at it should be. Young, fresh, green herbs and some hot stones. As expected. Nothing great, but nice - as it is every year.

Simple, but not disagreeable wine. Good acidity. Probably nice with salads and other green stuff.

Short note.
Decent and well made Sancerre without excelling.
