Le Clocher d'Amélie Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Doing the typical “Two sides of the Loire” comparative tasting.
Muted on the nose with shy green grass & nettle + starts showing a very interesting waxy note after some time. More vivid on the palate, though still defined rather by its acidic structure than fruit. Ripe gooseberries, green apples and the grass again. Finishes off with an austere flinty, slightly steely note.
Not bad but quite far from what Sancerre is capable of.

Cuvée Marnes et Caillottes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pale-medium lemon color.
Aromas of lemonade, honeydew, pear, subtle minerality.
Dry. Flavors of warm lemon, gritty pear, honeydew, subtle vegetal undertone (balanced), subtle well integrated custard notes, wet stone. From one vintage to the next, this wine never disappoints!

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 3/5
Balance: 5/5

Domaine Roger Belland

Santenay-Commes 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Needed 2 hours to open up. Raspberry, cranberry fruit. Tart. Kind of deep pitched for a Burgundy. Not much in the way of tannins. Others on Cellartracker called this delicate. This bottle wasn’t at least compared to the 2013 Jean Tardy Gevrey Chambertin Champerrier I posted on just prior to this one. — 4 years ago

Domaine Jean Roger

Cuvée Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021

2021 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Fleshy. Durty nose. Chunky and slightly unresolved but I think I can fix it and be happy. Good punch throughout. Under $30 USD resto cost which is increasingly holy grail for CDP rouge or blanc these daze. 04.23.25. — 5 months ago

La Côte de Bué Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Nice Sancerre inviting scents of grapefruit and mint, unfortunately lacking a bit of complexity, acidity and length to bring it to another level — 6 years ago
