  Fresh and rounded fruits, with just enough acid to keep it food friendly. Held up well the next day.

  In the glass presenting a pale yellow color. The aroma is truly exquisite with a delightful blend of melons, lychees, and ripe peach. Wow! The palate is rich with tropical fruit, subtly accented by floral and flinty notes. Really feels harmonious and in balance. The texture is very smooth, supported by a refreshing acidity that enhances the fruit flavors and minerality. The finish is super long, leaving a slight saccharine and lime impression that lingers pleasantly for about a minute.

  More and more Sancerre is becoming my go-to restaurant first course wine. This was a good example, good acidity, citrus but the herbaceous notes muted in this old world wine. Great.

  The wine is clear, with pale lemon-green color, and thick legs.
  
  On the nose the wine is clean, with medium plus primary aroma intensity of citrus fruits, lemon, lemon zest, floral notes, hints of white flowers, green fruits, gooseberries, hints of ammonia, almost cat pee like, slight herbaceous, hints of tropical fruits.
  
  On the palate the wine is dry, with medium plus acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus primary flavor intensity of ripe white fruits, melon, ripe tropical fruits, guava, hints of honey.
  Finish is long.
  
  The wine is of a good quality overall, as it is showing good balance between fruit concentration and acidity.
  
  The wine was expressive enough at time of tasting, with multiple layers of aromas and flavors, however not very complex, mostly fruit driven, but winemaking is very good here.
