The 2013 vintage in Sancerre demanded extreme discipline due to a late, cool season and harvests extending into mid-October. Rigorous sorting produced Sauvignons of refreshing, crisp tension. The wine reveals a pale robe with green hues and a vibrant nose of grapefruit, fresh boxwood, lime, and flint. The palate is linear, bracing, and energetic, showcasing a light body and an invigorating finish. Rated 3.8 out of 5, this very good and focused vintage is tailored for lovers of taut, chiseled wines. Sensational with fresh oysters or crispy prawn tempura.
