Acquired at the domaine. Uncharacteristic Sancerre, with bigger, riper fruit on the nose and a sort of lockout on the palate and finish. Guessing it needs a couple more years in a cool dank space. Unfair to rate at this point, but this single example suggests 2008 is not among the best vintages for Cuvee Mazime (2002, 2007 both superior after the same time in bottle).

nose - floral, hint of bazooka bubble gum mouth - crisp minerality on the attack which quickly yields to serious pink grapefruit on the midpalate, and a long tart on finish. pleasant but very grapefruity overall, slightly one dimensional.

n - gorgeous floral nose, bubble gum, m - light banana, a hint of the tropicality you might see out of NZ, and muted green grass. Good minerality. touch bitter finish. A nice quaff.

Lemon and Grapefruit notes with nice minerality and acidity. There's a richess that kicks in on the finish. Could not put the glass down.

Nice blue cheese notes on the nose and palate. Great minerality. Very long finish, maybe 2 mins. very young.
