Always been a great fan of Sancerre Rouge, this one is absolute gold, lovely delicate berries, light, and an absolute joy, replaces definately Rosé as a summer wine — 6 months ago
A reductive nose, which blew off in about 20 minutes. In the mouth you stop for a second and ask yourself, Jura? Oxidative palate yet crazy levels of freshness. A fire hose of acidity that assaults your mouth but is joined by pure fruit. Wonderful intense finish.
Like Vatan, singular and not everyone’s taste. — 4 years ago
The strangest wine I’ve encountered all year - a relic from an old cellar in Beaune. We were no where near Chablis when we first opened it. Instead, it unfolded with the scents and flavours of a classic Sancerre (Alex said it reminded him of a young Vatan). With air, the wine transformed into something reminiscent of durian. Sounds unpleasant, but surprisingly it wasn’t. It made us think of those durian-filled pastries one might find at some dim sum places, a peculiar charm for those in the know. What combination of sulphur, fruit, and age led to this oddity? We could only guess. After about 2 hours, we finally arrived at the slated destination - saline, briny Chablis. Perhaps not the finest Chablis, but it was a wine that took us on a curious, winding journey. And if the empty bottle at the night’s end says anything, it’s that this wine, strange though it was, had its own subtle success. — a month ago
Lots going on right out of the gate . Your nose leads you to believe you entered a French bakery. Pears and baked apples linger in the background. The first taste weighs your tongue down but almost immediately flavors of citrus , spearmint and. baked bread jump around on a trampoline made of acidity. Don’t laugh, reminded me of the uniqueness of Vatan. — 3 years ago

Dark violet in color, this wine has a nose of black current, plum and tobacco/cigar. Silky tannins. Blackberry, cassis, chocolate, floral notes on the palate. Opens up nicely. — 4 months ago
