  Pale straw. Real intensity. Mineral and chalky. Very pure green fruits, Granny Smith, gooseberry, limes. Great acidity. Good length. Very fine. And still very fresh. Little change from one a couple of years ago.

  Less Celebrated France WIMPS #164 28th April 2023 (La Trompette, Chiswick): A generous pour from another table. This is terrific. Pure, cool, transparent. Lovely limey acidity and mountain stream minerality. There is an oh so subtle spiciness as well. Palate similar with touch of popcorn and a suggestion of custard apple. Love it.

  High acidity, mineral. Less body and power than usual for Cotat but just like champagne, this 2008 shows the tension and linearity of the vintage.

  Sancerre à travers le temps (Chez François G.): La couleur la plus pâle. Nez un peu animal, réduit, allumettes à l'ouverture. Le souffre prend de la place et durcit un peu le vin. Bouche très sèche et minérale, avec un superbe équilibre aérien, une jeunesse incroyable. Sec de chez sec, un autre jus de roche. Droit et profond, tranchant, trop jeune! 93+ revoir dans 5 ans.
  MD de François?
