Very classic Sancerre. Just ripe enough to avoid unpleasant greenness, there’s some fruit, but the terroir really shines through. Some gooseberry fruit but loads of wet limestone and a little Chablis-like brothiness even. In the mouth it’s relatively full, has good acids and great balance.

Wow, still drinking well. Light bodied and earthy with dried rose petals.

Aromas of agrumes ie pink grapefruit. Lots of minerals, straight on the palate and the tongue, salty length.
