91 / 100"This is a bright, mineral-driven Sancerre with flinty aftershocks. The nose suggests green apple, brioche, crushed shells, toast and white blossom. On the palate, racy acidity rests on a limestone base that enhances florality."

Tasting Notes
Sourced from the hilltop town of Sancerre where soils are rich with flint, gravel and limestone. Aged in steel tank, this is a classic Sancerre with delicate white flowers, citrus fruits and minerals.
Pale golden-green. Remarkable and aromatic intensity on the nose. Floral notes of white flowers such as hawthorn, acacia, eglantine, and elderflower. This is backed up by blackcurrant buds and wild flowers. It is lively on the palette, with very pleasant acidulous characteristics prolonged by light fruity notes. Full and refreshing, it is dominated by flinty stones and chalk typical of fine Sancerre wines. Pair this wine with shellfish, seafood and goat cheeses.
