09 vintage. The richness of this is stunning. Like a big bowl of grapefruit and papaya custard, with a sprinkle of salt and a little candied lemon zest for good measure.

Jul 29th, 2016I really wanted to poo poo on this wine- overhyped Sancerre right? Wrong! Holy f**k! Freshly tapped Coravin pour- almost briny green olive, lemongrass, lemon curd, grapefruit sorbet, limestone, Himalayan pink sea salt. Pleasant and enticing nose but my god this explodes on the palate unlike any SB I've had. Layers of citrus cream and savory mineral undertones. Feels like I'm drinking a Chablis. What is happening?!?
