Pur Sang Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Most delicious of the lineup. It really clicked for me, makes me understand how low toast oak can jive with a restrained, pristine sauv blanc character that’s the house signature. Enough air coaxes out apple and a hint of ginger, but it’s that equilibrium between fruit, oak, lees and structure that strikes the match — 25 days ago

Love this. Such a comforting red fruit profile together with pine needles and the slightest hint of forest floor. — 9 months ago

Buisson Renard Pouilly- Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2020

All about texture. Viscous and luscious, very shy in the nose but pristine in the harmony between tight yet ripe herbal character, minerality and nutty bitterness. Long finish. Needs time to develop intensity — 25 days ago

Roger et Didier Raimbault

Vieilles Vignes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Last bottle of the ‘18. It’s pretty much at its peak. Intense limestoney minerality balanced by just enough ripe fruit green apple/citrus pith fruit. A very subtle green herbal note in the background. Round-textured in the mouth initially, u til the intense minerality puts on its geology show-and-tell. Nice acids. A pleasant mouthful of rocks, basically. — 4 months ago
