Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2027

Found this 2022 pleasing. Not trying to be a new world SB. Steely , bright, tart orchard fruits with hints of lime and quince. Wish the price was lower than $39. — 8 months ago

La Moussière Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir 2019

Delectable Wine
9.2

Mellow and savory, the 2019 La Moussière is starting to enter a nice period of its life but has excellent concentration and tension. It's a richly styled, spicy, smoky and meaty Pinot Noir (70% whole bunches). A fruit cake-like character lingers with tea leaves on the ripe finish. Interesting, it is starting to develop, but plenty of life is still in it. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2024)

La Demoiselle Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2021

2021 vintage. Light-medium body. Unexpected amounts of complexity and length of finish for the next tier up with Sancerre. Decidedly not a fan of Sancerre but this (begrudgingly) didn't suck. 3.20.24. — 8 months ago

Génération Dix-Neuf Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Delectable Wine
9.5

Gorgeous and silken, the 2019 Generation Dix-Neuf is a ball of beautiful, silky, concentrated Pinot Noir. Savory and smoky, it seems effortless, although it's clearly been anything but based on the impeccable quality. It caresses the palate. There's intensity and density here but no weight. The 2019 is a very complete wine that's still young. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2024)
