relatively full (13%), yet precise sauvignon blanc from 50-80 year old vines. Quincy is Sancerre's lesser known cousin, with better prices (and often better quality). this bottle tastes like salted lime and mineral, with a hint of smoke and subtle cheesiness from lees aging. the acidity is all there.

Ripping acid here. The standard Sauv Blanc fruit profile you expect, bone dry, and mineral tasting with a subtle cheesy note. I haven’t bought a bottle of SB in ages and this was good, but won’t put this variety back in heavy rotation.
