Les Penitents Chardonnay 2019

Chardonnay is expressed here on these varietal qualities:, lively and mineral character, notes of lemony citrus, sour apples, butter, with a fine light smoke. Lively, supple, vegetable mouth (tilleul). Fine and digestible texture. The finale is energised by pretty salty notes.

Le Chardonnay s’exprime ici sur ces qualités variétales, caractère vif et minéral, notes d’agrumes citronnées, pommes acidulée, beurre, sertie d’un fin léger fumé. Bouche vive, souple, végétale (tilleul). Texture fine et digeste. La finale se prolonge sur de belles notes salines.

La Moussière Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir 2019

This pours a darker, more saturated color than any Sancerre Rouge I’ve ever seen. The nose is big and boisterous, with dark, intense and sappy cherry fruit, a meaty element, and a big whack of limestone minerality. Full and tannic in the mouth. Not exactly a summer sipper. Deeply mineral in flavor profile. Ends on a slightly bitterish, extracted note, with a bit of the 14.5% alcohol showing through. Very good but atypical. Seems like it needs at least a few more years in the cellar to take the edge off, but I’m not sure the fruit will survive more than a couple more before the alcohol burns through it. — 2 months ago

Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir 2020

Very elegant, not super aromatic at first but opens up. Austere but not too abrasive and has really nice both ripe and underripe sweet cherry, hints of baking spices, persistent minerality. Would definitely buy again at $35 — 6 months ago

La Demoiselle Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2021

2021 vintage. Light-medium body. Unexpected amounts of complexity and length of finish for the next tier up with Sancerre. Decidedly not a fan of Sancerre but this (begrudgingly) didn't suck. 3.20.24. — 3 months ago

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2027

Found this 2022 pleasing. Not trying to be a new world SB. Steely , bright, tart orchard fruits with hints of lime and quince. Wish the price was lower than $39. — 3 months ago
