Oh yeah Sancerre being tricky in a blind tasting I’d call this...I don’t know it’s so ripe. But that doesn’t mean it ain’t a tasty treat. More stone fruit. Some grass. White pepper and haunting white flower.its skinny fat. Good acid but voluptuous.

The 2018 ‘Anciennes Vignes’ Sancerre is a beautiful new wine by Cottat. The aromatic range is really good from nutty and earthy undertones to wet stone and pink grapefruit blossom aromas that meld in the glass. The weight is fantastic as bright citrus oil and green apple connect with the lovely earthy tones of the wine. This finishes exceedingly long. A fantastic effort, this is best enjoyed in its youth while the brightness remains, although this has the rich texture to cellar over the next five plus years. Drink 2019-2025- 92

Ripe fruit. Salty citrus. Quite good. Not your average Sancerre. +1 for Hawaii.

$19 a glass and $74 for the bottle at Del Frisco’s. Lacked the mineralogy and tightness of what we expected.

A little chalky, a little grassy. Quite enjoyable!

You can almost forget and feel like this is a normal spring like any other with a fresh and fragrant #sancerre like this one. Citrus blossom, some peach, lemon nose with a nice rounded mouthfeel and balanced acidity.
