justerini & brooks tasting note

A bright, characterful Sancerre with aromas of lime, white blossom and white stone fruits. The palate is crisp yet supple, with gentle fleshiness neatly wrapped in a soft, rounded texture from extended lees contact. Fermentation and ageing in stainless steel preserve purity, whilst the chalky soils lend a delicate mineral edge that carries through to the long, mouthwatering finish.

critic reviews

89/100Rebecca Gibb,Vinous

The 2023 Sancerre is filled with elderflower, lime and green aromas. It is a medium-bodied style that's tender and supple from three types of chalky soil in the appellation. The clay-chalk portion of the soil brings volume and body, while the chalkiest soils provide some gentle tension. A spritz hint brings much-needed tension in this gentle acidity year. This is a step up from most 2023s in this high-yielding year.
