Wow this is good. Intense nose shows tons of limestony minerals and ripe gooseberry, citrus-zest ingredients fruit. Large-framed in the mouth for a Sancerre, but everything is in perfect balance: minerals, fruit, acid, glycerol. Nice length.

Very classic Sancerre. Just ripe enough to avoid unpleasant greenness, there’s some fruit, but the terroir really shines through. Some gooseberry fruit but loads of wet limestone and a little Chablis-like brothiness even. In the mouth it’s relatively full, has good acids and great balance.

Wow, still drinking well. Light bodied and earthy with dried rose petals.
