Very approachable in its (relative) youth. A little matchstick at first then pure puckery yellow green fruit filtered through limestone and spattered onto a field of white flowers. Could go another decade easily but no need to wait

4th of July treat. Needed 30 minutes of air. Full and textured with salted cantaloupe and honeydew melon. First Sancerre of this caliber that I’ve tasted. Great stuff.

Textural, mineral, a racier and more linear profile from Cotat. Melon, kiwi, ripe citrus, wet rocks, cool herbs, aloe. Deliciously brisk but maintains weight and drinking well outta the gates

Orange peel, heady bright and mineral. Pretty crushable in its youth.

Like drinking a cool, rocky stream. This is all mineral and refreshment, maybe a little softer than many, and certainly restrained on the fruit side. If you're looking for juicy gooseberries or acid cut, you've come to the wrong place. If you're looking for something clean and precise and palate awakening, you're home.

Pure, intense, long. Tastes like rocks and a cool summer breeze, tense with the threat of lightning.
