  Too young and too alcoholic for me. But great aging potential. Not rating.

  This was a most generous gift from Alfert, we shared! The 2018 was fantastic. Wide open, crisp, channeling colors in a miraculous way, with powdered lemon peel, stony mineral, limestone, more citrus. This was a crisp, I mean snapping crisp, but it had fleshy traits as well. So complicated, yet so easy going. This is terrific!

  Ojai Food + Wine Festival; 10/26/2023-10/29/2023 (Ojai Valley Inn): So let me preface this by saying I am not a fan of Sancerre. I had tried Vatan Neore before ('11 and '12 vintages) but never had this kind of transcendent experience. Now I understand why this unicorn wine is so sought after, and why Vatan is the G.O.A.T. when it comes to Sancerre. This floored me. Spectacular juice! Drank on recommendation of Maggie Harrison of Antica Terra. From magnum.

  From a magnum, also drank alongside screaming eagle sauv blanc, and the screaming eagle was the far better wine. So I guess if you're into cult sauv blanc, screaming eagle is the one to focus on.

  From mag. Young and primary. Not overly ripe and heavy like some other vintages of this wine. But overall seems a bit simple, I dont really get the hype here
