Nose is subdued but showing wet gravel, white flowers, underripe grapefruit and lemon peel. Palate is tart and medium body, showing more grass than I would expect - almost tennis ball esq. For a Sancerre, this has less than adequate acid and the finish comes off a bit flat for me.

Very tasty, wet stone and lime on nose, plus plus acid, lemon and grapefruit on palate. Very delicious.

Wow, so different then the 2015 Sancerre I just had. You can tell this is slightly older. Minerality, ripe fruit on the nose. Some not overly tart lime the palate. The last one was very one dimensional, while this one is two dimensional.
