fragrant between terpenic, kerosene, nutty, and old herbs, complex,
The best is the vibrant and tangy palate with a sharp laser like acidity and bright and vivid acidity ! Fantastic wine, really a must keep those high end Cuvées in Sancerre, even more on "bad" vintages. Still have oe or two and some 2004 ... see what the Boulay will do ! can't wait :)
To the aficionados of Sauvignon Blanc, this kicks some Dagueneaus Butt easily

Clear and precise, balanced and in full harmony, the Sancerre 2008 Les Romains was a blast nad for shure one of the best Vacherons i had. Opened half a day before, the wine showed bright, citrus and also green but ripe notes and a fantastic acid structure creaminess and a vivid acidity. Outstanding. Served with Ceviche, this was an awesome combination.

Light yellow color. In the nose, this is fantastic, super complex, some citrus fruit, gooseberry, hay, earth and spices, there are nuances all over the place. In the mouth, it's rich, but fresh, very dense, mineralic, quite acidic and very long. Outstanding Sancerre.

Chalky minerality with a long, dry finish but counterbalanced with exotic fruit in the mid palate. Very enjoyable and will improve but perhaps as others have noted a little pricey for the quality...

A whiff of herb and gooseberry on nose. Crisp juicy acidity nicely balanced with ripe tropical fruit. This could pass as a Cali SB given the overall ripeness and level of perceptible sweetness. What makes this uniquely Sancerre is its intense stoney minerality. Nice but a bit pricey.
