Rich beige gold (is this oaked?). Inviting nose and rich palate of half-baked pear, white spices (again, is this oaked?), and citrus rind. Medium plus acidity. Bitter orange candy on the medium long finish. Not your mother's Sancerre. Richer and more body than the typical offering. Pair with somewhat heartier "white wine" fare. Scallops, risotto, roast poultry/game fowl, or pork tenderloin come to mind. Try it with fried chicken! Drink now through 2025.
