Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

So ripe with tropical fruit notes, and almost zero grassy or bell pepper notes. So difficult to get to Sancerre with this blind.

Classic

Flint, citrus, gooseberry, melon, minerality and great acid.

#sample

Clear yellow-greenish color; nose of pineapple, stone fruit, goose berries, black currant, and a newly opened plastic toy soldier; steely but balanced high acids on the palate, mostly citrus, halogen minerals, herbs and liquorice and a long mouth-watering finish with a hint of sweetness. This is a well-made Sancerre and the remaining bottles in the cellar won’t be long lived. Had with creamy fish soup and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, the late great Russian barytone, singing Moskow nights in the background.

Pale gold; medium intensity aromas of green apple, apple blossom, lemon, lime, grapefruit; dry, medium plus acid, medium alcohol, medium body, medium intensity flavors of lemon, grapefruit, green apple, blossom; medium finish, very classic example

This was outstanding. Excellent value. Contender for best sb I’ve tastes along with Jolivet and Blank Canvas. So well balanced. Flinty, mineral character perfectly balanced with peach and kiwi fruit. Zippy zesty lemon giving spine. With Racquel in HK

Fläder med bra mineralitet, lime och gula äpplen i smaken.

Классический натуральный профиль. Чуть пряно (но хорошо компенсируется кислотностью), цидония. Чисто, сбалансированно, немного скучно.

Beautiful classic Sancerre on the nose: gooseberry, grass, fresh snap pea and a touch of bell pepper. Even some minerally sea breeze.

Great palate: lemon peel, under ripe mango, minerals, and zippy acidity.

Delicious classic Sancerre.
