Sancerre la Côte de Bué 2016

- 93 points -

At five years old, the 2016 Sancerre La Côte de Bué is taking on the aromas of maturing Sauvignon Blanc, namely lime marmalade on toast and almond meal. It's a powerful, richly aromatic style with a firm line of tension that runs through the core of the wine and provides a lengthy, structured finish. This is partly fermented in barrel, rounding Sauvignon's edges; however, it’s quite a mouthful, and the bold tannic essence of the site speaks clearly here.
