Maybe I tarried a bit too long as some of the brightness has worn off, yet still excellent, really all one would ask of a Sancerre, the epoch of SB expression. Pale straw, saline minerality on the nose, strident bracing citrus while underscored with mineral structure.

wanted to try the classic oysters-sancere pairing, and luckily this classic sancere was on the list. powerful. lush sea minerals and sharp, citrus acidity. mouth is watering now.

Playing with fire a little to hang on to these but so far things are well. A further year has rounded the edges a bit. Still plenty of slatey minerality and lush bracing fruit. I probably chose the wrong meal to open this with; but after the food was disposed of the wine shone nicely by itself. Need newer vintages.

Fleshy and a wine of place; earthy with slate and nice lemon light peach; elegant with nice length.
