Satellite Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Unbelievable acids that shine through. Though this Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre is barrel aged on fine lees that contributes to the softness of on the palate. You have the luxury of everything the fruit has to offer in the most balanced Sancerre I’ve had to date. Definitely worthy of the retail price of $88. — 7 years ago

La Moussière Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir 2022

Mellots’ family name dates back to 1513 and a long history with Sancerre. Ruby with aromas of red fruits, spice and floral notes, aged in 50% new oak. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of herb spice and smoky oak. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and slight earthy character, very nice! — 2 months ago

En Grands Champs Sancerre Pinot Noir 2011

Haven’t had much luck with red Sancerre until tonight at Blanchard’s in Anguilla (worth a diversion!). Velvety, powerful and mushroom-weighted with age, black tea, gritty minerality. So nice. Drink up. — 4 years ago

Château Cantemerle

Les Allées de Cantemerle Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

This is quite a deal. $17??
The nose on this wine is deceptive. Spicy and savory. In the mouth, however, it is very light and supple. Fruit forward (strawberry and plum) with some violet. Very round edges, almost completely integrated tannins at 6 years young. Way too easy to drink. I wouldn't sit on this for much longer than 3 years.
Listening to Dolly Parton. Prolific (and I share her birthday)

La Demoiselle Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir 2015

Really an excellent Pinot noir from Sancerre. After my wife and I took a sip we both exclaimed that we need to start buying more Sancerre rouge - just a great quality / price ratio, especially for Pinot noir. This is ruby red, with a dusty cherry nose. A touch restrained on the palate with lots of minerality coming through - great cherry notes on the palate, long finish. Really nice. — 7 years ago

Savaterre

Beechworth Chardonnay 2012

A lively crisp Chardonnay fleshing out nicely at 7 years in a very good place. From the cool climate Beechworth area in the gravelly soils in the foothills of the Victorian Alps. Great balance - not too lean and not too Dolly Parton. Savaterre is a neighbour of Giaconda , one of Australia’s best Chardonnays. — 7 years ago
