There is a wonderful creaminess/leesiness to the nose that is restrained and elegantly SB with typical notes of flint, gooseberry and herbs. Strongly leads me to believe that this was fermented with native yeasts, so pleasant and pure are the aromatics. On the palate it has a very respectable mouthfeel: good weight with leesy richness, lifted by confident acidity. To be honest this wine strikes a great balance given that it is mouth-filling yet focused, not fruit-forward yet not vegetal either and aromatically restrained while in no way thin or austere. I actually find this a very good Sancerre which is perhaps surprising given that it is the cheapest of its kind that I’ve had in many years.

Paille doré avec reflet vert, très brillant. Au nez, agrumes, banane, herbe fraichement coupé. En bouche, beau fruits blancs, acidité bien présente(vive presque tranchante), avec rondeur en mi-bouche avec un petit gras, longueur moyenne+. Très bien, mais gagnera avec un peu de temps en cave.

Delightful lemon, beeswax, hint of D’Anjou pear and whiff of lime. Great balance of acidity and touch of sweetness.

Clear light yellow. Medium nose, stone fruit, lime and oyster shell. Dry lime and peach flavours and a very nice slightly rich dry finish.

Very young. Tight nose, lime, lemon and stone fruit. Very dry citrus flavours and a very dry finish.
