Tasting notes

The legs appear as a beautiful red currant colour with sharp and brilliant reflections. Exceptionally fruity, very young and typically Sancerre, raspberry and peach. Very aromatic on a red fruit key. Full and round, it shows much sucrosity in attack. This wine attenuates gradually, expands promptly and is supported by a balanced tannic point. Powerful, it opens finally on fruity notes (blackcurrant, raspberry) and is prolonged with the taste of citrus fruits with a very beautiful aromatic persistence.

Brilliant orange-pink. Red berry, orange pith and floral scents show fine clarity and mineral lift. Nicely concentrated yet lively as well, offering sappy cherry, tangerine and candied rose flavors that spread out steadily through the back half. Finishes on a persistent red berry note, with white pepper and smoky mineral flourishes adding energetic lift. - Josh Raynolds
