Les Romains is a vineyard with its feet in flint to the east of the fault line in Sancerre. The 2020 Sancerre Les Romains begins with a fruity and open welcome, blossoming and silken in the mouth before tying the wine up; the flint influence acts like the belt on a pair of trousers tightening up the middle and leaving a sensation of sinew and length with a fine nettley fragrance.

After reading all the rave reviews on Bessin’s Valmur recently (baby Rav according to some netizens), I was really excited to try this bottle. Sadly, it fell below expectations which was likely no one’s fault other than your’s truly - a little less care during transport left the wine with a nagging honey note that I abhor in young Chards. A touch of premox I believe, which stands in contradiction with another element I found lacklustre - the bottle was so stubbornly primary. Ripe-fruited even, with face-smacking stone fruits that masked the more Chablis-esque characters I so love. This point I can forgive considering the wine’s youth. I just wished it was more mineral and taut. It’s not all grim though as this sample was certainly concentrated, with plush textures that filled every corner of the palate. Definitely a wine to revisit.
NB: I believe WK gave this his highest score for 20’ Chablis. Great value at sub AUD150 in most markets. — 2 years ago
I’m on vacation so I broke my mid-week fast!
In my mind, this is another top drawer French producer. No perceptible fault lines on the nose or palate. Think about the number of producers in France producing Chablis and you realize that it’s a struggle to innovate within that market, but Moreau pulls it off.
This is laser focused and tense. Unsure if this sees oak, hence the focus. Notes of wet stones, peach and lemon. The mid palate displays zippy acidity and a deftly balanced mouthfeel. If you like French chards, you’ll enjoy this. — 2 years ago
Big, bold and strong. The 2010 consumed in 2021 is certainly ripe and ready to go. Plum, figs and plenty of spice, it’s pretty hard to fault this if you like a big reds from the Barossa — 4 years ago
