The first whiff delivers classic Sancerre notes of flinty minerality (Sancerre's soil does, literally, contain flint deposits!). These are immediately followed, however, by a richness of fruit which makes this wine so distinctive: lemon, melon, and a gentle amount of gooseberry. The full body promised by the nose is delivered by the palate: gooseberry develops into a seductive richness. The slightest touch of grass follows, and perfectly-bright acidity leaves one's mouth watering for more. An incredibly well-balanced Sancerre, the perfectly-weighted finish goes on...and on... and... you get the point – delicious!
Food Pairing: Antipasto, scallops, oysters, asparagus, white fish, sushi. Soft cheeses, especially goat. Anything with a lemon-butter sauce!
