The 2018 Sancerre Jadis has a sense of liveliness through its plump core. When I say plump, it still remains mid-weight at most in body and bounces gently along the palate. It's silky and supple offering fine chalky texture. It was first produced in 1998 to reflect the style of the wine that their grandparents produced, so oak barrels and concrete tanks were used rather than the more modern stainless steel tanks.

Gorgeous tropical fruit, honeysuckle, citrus, hints of pineapple. Showing great at 5 years. Big vote for laying down Sancerre. Lovely with moules

Classic "Sancerre", but doesn't show much Monts Damnes character. Better on day 2.

Citrus and lime peel aromas, peach and apricot flavours, balanced with nice acidity. Completely biodynamic wine, only 5000 production.

Single vineyard Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois (Loire valley family growing sauvignon since 1590); tasted with winemaker and grandson of Henri Bourgeois (whose first name was Etienne!); example of soil and barrel use to slightly fill out a mouthful of minerality; more dimension, keep its shape; racked direct to bottle; 50% oak use; single vineyard on clay; 2013 23 euros #loire #sancerre #oak #jadis #singlevineyard
