The 2019 Sancerre Nuance has a delicate, elegant style that caresses the palate with its tenderness and yet remains light and delicate, with lovely balance. Fermentation in large-format oak has left no woody impression, just a sense of roundness and harmony. The flavors are restrained and delicate, like the rest of wine, featuring gentle apple, the merest hint of nettle and a subtle note of lees-derived pastry. The finish is textured, fresh and good enough to eat. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, August 2021)

2010 - very sexy with a touch of maturity but plenty of zing left. The crowd loved it.

2013. Knockout Sancerre with great value. Silky, deep, lemon, gooseberry, stone, some savory notes too. Crowd pleaser.

2011 Vincent Pinard Nuance. Not bad, but I prefer the tropical/citrus fruit of Napa Sauv Blanc.

Beautiful balance of richness and freshness, weight and drinkability, complexity and simplicity. Utterly gorgeous.
