A beautiful golden yellow in color leads to a delightful aroma of freshly squeezed lemons, with hints of oranges and minerality. There is a fresh, crisp, clean taste to this wine. A saline taste at first that gives way to good citrus favors. A good minerality of river rocks and limestone on the backend. I can see anyone sipping this on a warm summer evening and enjoying the hell out of it.

Minerally, lemon clawback from a tease of tropics/gooseberry. New oak gives it a little more seriousness, but not a malo/creamy mess — it’s crisp. Good “house” Sancerre

We had this one on a scorching hot day in the gardens of Versailles where the heat hits you from the sun directly but also from its reflection off the light colored gravel below. A great refuge was this little restaurant outdoors but tucked away in a grove of trees. We quickly ordered this wine with lunch and though not overly complex with its lemony maybe buttery character, it did the trick as a refreshing mid-day reprieve from the heat. A touch sweet and as I say, simple, but alright.

Big difference in Sancerre and Sauvignon Blanc even though there isn’t a difference there is a huuuuge difference I taste. I love Sancerre. I don’t like most Sauvignon Blanc’s. 🧐 oh the irony...
