On the palate, this Sancerre Blanc is crisp and refreshing, with a taut, energetic structure. Those lifted, exotic fruit flavours from the nose are complemented by citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, as well as subtle herbal undertones of freshly cut grass and mint. The limestone-driven minerality contributes to the wine's steely dry character. The wine's texture is refined and elegant, with a long, lingering finish that leaves a satisfying impression of juicy white fruit and mineral freshness. It would be a great match with oysters, goat and other soft ripened cheeses, and white fish.
