Color of a young white wine, soft but bright straw-yellow. Mineral and herbal nose. On the palate, true expression of Sauvignon Blanc: Herbal, zesty and lime freshness, fleshy and round. Not overpowering acidity, just enough to keep the structure and the foundation of the wine solid throughout the finish. @sommselect I guess I kind of understand the profile of Sauv Blanc from Kimmeridgian soil. Fascinating... next time will taste a Chablis alongside to taste the similarities. Did a bold pairing with fish curry (paprika, coriander and ginger mainly), went really well especially because the dish did not have any creamy or buttery flavors. The fish has fats that is really oily (very Asian), so that kind of complemented this wine I think! — 12 days ago
Rather full-bodied and sturdy in this vintage. Not terribly aromatic yet but showing excellent concentration and finesse across the palate, fruit becoming fleshier and weightier with air, finishing with spearmint and coriander flavors. Solid mineral backbone. — 2 days ago
Jennifer had this and really liked it. Jennifer would order this again. We had this at the same time as the Domaine Serene and we both liked the Domaine Serene better. — 5 days ago
Elegant Bué Sancerre with fantastic balance of yellow waxy fruits and subtle flinty undertones. Another great vintage for Dominque Roger. — 7 days ago
From FK Fall tasting, $28.95 before discount. Stephen said, from a humble winery, made by 2 brothers in the Loire. A beautifully made wine. Most Sauvignon Blancs are obnoxious but not this one. Liked it not so cold to really taste the wine. — 2 days ago
Incorrect identification - this is the N. Girard Pinot Noir Sancerre (Rose Loire Wine). Wonderfully bright, & not too fruity or acidic. — 2 days ago

The 2016 'Les Romains' is simply gorgeous, as it begins with striking aromatics of wildflowers, honey, lychee and cantaloupe that immediately draw you in. The texture and minerality is simply stunning, as flavors of with tree fruit and citrus oil leave a mark. The oily, unctuous character this possesses is found in very few Sauvignon Blancs. An absolutely brilliant wine from one of the leading producers in the region. Drink 2019-2033- 95 — 11 hours ago
