  Tasted over two evenings vacuvined in between.

  Develops very well, particularly on the nose. Has a great crystalline purity.
  Colour: Pale straw, green tinge, bright, clear.
  Nose: full, fresh, crisp, good Sancerre dryness, limes.
  Taste: light body, crisp, ripe, v dry, some chalkiness, lime, good acidity and tautness, med finish, v dry, limes.
  Overall, a wine that grows. Rather bland at first, develops well on the second evening. Decant next time round?

  Intense, stony mineral aromas are layered over fresh, ripe lemon/lime citrus and white floral notes. It's quite full and powerful on the palate with some warmth due to the hot vintage, but still well-balanced with floral, lime, and stony flavours and lively, juicy, mouth-watering acidity. Tangy mid-palate with a pleasing chalky texture. Stony mineral notes linger on the long finish. Lovely! Score: 91+ pts

  Workmanlike Sancerre (as much as a Sancerre can be workmanlike) here, with lime, white flowers, and a wet stone / saline quality. Not complex, but nice freshness and lift with a pleasant texture.
