Thats real pretty. Sancerre with some flesh. Now don't get me wrong. I am not tawlkin CA Sauv Blanc flesh cause the bite is there. That's a great intro to Sancerre if you are looking to show someone around.

This is so nice. Great acidity, lemon and so smooth. Note to self: drink more Sancerre.

Understated white fleshy fruits, yet prominent. Smooth and wholesome yet unoaked. No astringent phenolics. Really well balanced. I don't think I like Marlborough anymore.

Clean crisp acid well balanced with round fruit. Exceptionally long pleasant linger gradually rounds out, exposing more woody overtones of -- ?faint cedar? Really great for sipping, appetizers... Maybe light foods? Love it!!! 9/10

Oaky, spritzy, broad and heavy for Sancerre.

What can I say about this beautiful Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, other than vines are 40-87 years and aged on lees for 10-14 months 60% oak casks, and 20% barrels. How about having the complexity and finish of a Château Smith Haut Lafitte without the need for Sémillon. Wow!

Intense minerality, limestone, lemon. Wonderful acidity and balance. Great length. Terrific Sancerre

Not your normal Sancerre. Big full body, chalky minerality. Closer to white burgundy than Sancerre. Missing the grass
