Terrific wine. Initially very herbal, with air, and as it approaches ambient temperature, the nose loosens up and shows a lot more facets. Green apple, lemon-lime, high-toned crushed rock dust, lots of freshly-bruised green herbs. Slight toastiness. Nice balance and intensity in the mouth. Very good flavor intensity, vibrant acids, very good length. The importer’s website notes that that silex soil has more in common with Pouilly-Fume than Sancerre, and having read that I now see it.

Pop and pour. My kind of sancerre: gooseberry, eucalyptus, grass and mineral.notes. On the palate: fantastic acidity, lemon, grass, very hi-toned with lpad of crushed rock on a solid, slightly spicy finish.
