  A very well made, "typical" Sancerre. Nose has gooseberry, lemon, along with substantial mineral and earth tones - earthier than many. Also herbal notes of chives and tarragon. Palate has strong acid, substantial mineral structure. Nice fruit and mineral, and even a bit of astringency toward finish. Finish moderate in length. Wonderful complexity.

  Nose gives away citrus, fresh rain. Nice crisp acidity, not the most intense fruit punch, some grapefuit and yellow apple, showing some restraint. Little nutty. Excellent length on the finish, it really goes on. Very nice.

  Color: Light-med straw.
  
  Nose: Classic, distinct, fragrant Sancerre nose of wet stones, lime flower, and a hint of grassy herbs. Mouth: Dry, full, good intensity, excellent balance.
  
  Excellent, authentic Sancerre. Solid: 90-91.

  Fresh, clean, open, and fragrant nose of stony mineral mingles with lime citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of grassy herb. It is firmly structured and fresh on the palate with very good depth of fruit and flavour intensity, offering stony mineral, citrus, and saline flavours. Tangy, mouth-watering acids are fresh and lively, while the stony-citrus finish has excellent length.
