More typicity but still a crazy beast. Peppers, hints of Chablis nose, beautiful smokiness

Very difficult wine for a winemaker to understand, normally Sauvignon blanc is made very carefully and precisely, yet this wine is loose, free, unscripted. A lot of courage went into this wine.

Late harvest Sancerre. 1 month past normal picking. Fruit is all over. Soft and creamy from Malo.

Fun, savory Sancerre with a definite butterscotch note from the full ML.

Very rich, round Sancerre. Atypical but v v tasty. Makes you question the norm

I'm not sure what I think if this one. Hoped for acid and minerality; instead I got dried flowers and olive oil-like mouthfeel. Would normally assume it's an off bottle, but from reading the other comments, this seems like it dances to the beat of its own drum. Like, not love.

Very nice, but more process over place.

Can't tell if this would be good or bad for an exam on Sancerre. I do however know that I don't care.
