This is an easy wine to love. Rich and complex, with layers of flavor. Open it up at least an hour before drinking, and if you can hold on to it for five years before drinking all the better. We had it with a bourginonne style beef stew and it was marvelous. — 3 years ago
This is the 2017 from Xavier Gerard. Black pepper lavender and mint. Still very young — a day ago

@Estiatorio Milos in Miami enjoying this lovely Sancerre with our Dover Sole and Branzino. This has got to be the lightest, feathery Sancerre we’ve ever had. Sancerre is my favorite for many reasons. Just a beautiful wine for any time of year but beckons you to the beach and a warm breeze. — 3 years ago
More residual sugar than I expected, and also quite a bit of wood… cedar/oak. Blind tasted it and confused it with a California Chardonnay… — 4 years ago
Pretty much all fruit though I detected a bit of iron. Nice texture. — a month ago
On pop-n-pour, the nose is intensely minerally, showing medium-toned freshly-cracked stone, along with almost pungent purply-mountain berry fruitiness. A musky, feral note in there too. Chiseled and structured in the mouth. It’s full-bodied, with a fair amount of chalky tannin present. Very much on the minerally side, flavorwise. I like it but this is unlike any other Sancerre Rouge I’ve ever had. I’m pretty certain I would not be able to identify this as a Sancerre Rouge (or a Pinot Noir of any sort) if it had been served blind. — 2 months ago
