Nose is subdued but showing wet gravel, white flowers, underripe grapefruit and lemon peel. Palate is tart and medium body, showing more grass than I would expect - almost tennis ball esq. For a Sancerre, this has less than adequate acid and the finish comes off a bit flat for me.

A house favorite, and a great break fast wine. Crisp and complex. But, most of all, straight-on delicious.
