Citrus zest, tomato stem, gooseberry, oyster shells, wet stones. Lean and focused, low ph and very stony on the palate with a lot of bones but very little flesh.

Melon and citrus notes. Reminds me of the Sancerre I fell in love with so many years ago. Rich flavors with bracing acidity.

Picture perfect Sancerre. Under ripe citrus and tropical fruit, a strong herbal streak and acid washed rocks for days. Palate cleansing. Palate refreshing.

Crisp citrus dripped on a stone. Flinty lemony goodness.

I suppose with climate change, we're going to start seeing more of these Loire SBs without the grassy, pyrazine qualities of years past. Delicious, mineral and citrus driven wine - but it doesn't line up with what I think of as Sancerre. Time to reframe expectations!

Not a huge sauv blanc lover but this is really refreshing during our current heat wave. Gobs of acid and super fresh citrus and lemongrass notes. Squeaky clean freshness.

Very nice bottle of Sancerre. Not grassy which is a nice change up.
