The 2016 vintage in Sancerre was shaped by late April frosts that reduced yields across several hillsides. Fortunately, brilliant summer weather allowed the remaining fruit to ripen perfectly, developing remarkable aromatic purity. The wine displays a luminous pale gold color and releases crystalline aromas of pink grapefruit, white peach, jasmine, and flint. The palate is dense and vibrant, driven by mouth-watering salinity that elongates the finish. Rated 4.6 out of 5 and classified Divine, this 2016 impresses with pure terroir expression. Superb with sea bream tartare or pan-seared scallops.
