Traditional and terroir focused through its chalky texture from start to finish. leans into the green flavors of Sancerre in jalepeno, pea pod and pear while showing a refreshing touch of tangerine. For the serious fan

Heres the funk I am looking for! Wet wool hits you in the face, while underripe green pear, beeswax, jalapeño skin, and crushed macadamia and bitter almond add a lovely nutty element. Richer mouthfeel with m+ body for a Sancerre, it's palate coating and gives off great texture. The acidity is not the typical punch that I'm used to but it finishes elegant and well rounded. Not your typical Sancerre but really lovely none the less.

Nose and palate are near identical. Definitely driven by chalky soil and minerality, as it shows from start to finish here. Citrus is present, but this wine lacks the wildness and freshness that I look for.

Nice Sancerre with floral aromas, notes of melon, straw. Light, crisp on the palate with acidity that lingers.

Delightful bouquet of white lilacs. Notes of honey and gooseberry and a hint of the grassy we love.
