Showing very lean and dark for a warmer vintage, which just goes to show that the producer makes more difference than vintage! #thanksgiving2015

2009 is showing very well right now. Black raspberry and fine tannins, with a pretty minerality. Claude and Stephane are in the north of Sancerre so mostly chalk and clay soils, only a small parcel in flint.
