Last bottle of the ‘18. It’s pretty much at its peak. Intense limestoney minerality balanced by just enough ripe fruit green apple/citrus pith fruit. A very subtle green herbal note in the background. Round-textured in the mouth initially, u til the intense minerality puts on its geology show-and-tell. Nice acids. A pleasant mouthful of rocks, basically.

Jun 7th, 2024Year in and year out, this is one of my go-to Sancerres. Nose is super fresh, with equilibrium between crisp, just-ripe orchard fruit, a hint of green herb, and clean, stony minerality. Nice balance in the mouth as well. The fruit is ripe, but not too ripe, and it’s bone dry with a refreshingly chalky stone finish. Good (medium +) acids.

Loved this crushing a very fresh caprese. Orchard fruit, totally drying finish. Perfect for a sultry 4th. Cheers everyone!
