As usual, this is a very good rendition. Nose has crisp apple and lemon-lime fruit, high-toned powdered stone, and a meadow flower note. So lively. Intense and vibrant in the mouth. There is a ton of crisp, ripe fruit, zingy acids, limestoney minerality. Floods the mouth with flavors and aromas. Round-textured at the same time. Long finish. Really fine. In 375.

Beautiful and well rounded. Perfect acidity and balance. Local shop recommended this one one when I expressed interest in exploring a few white wines. Sancerre, why did it take so long for me to find you?!

Strong minerality, moderate acidity, some bitterness on the finish. Not overly complex but a good choice for a spicy fish dinner.
