Is Sancerre Blanc a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Sancerre continues to be a reference point for old-world Sauvignon Blanc and few know it better than this Domaine. Pale golden with green hues Aromatic intensity, suggests first citrus fruit, then sliced green apples, and transitions to stone fruit and hints of white blossoms.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Pale golden-green. Remarkable and aromatic intensity on the nose. Floral notes of white flowers such as hawthorn, acacia, eglantine, and elderflower. This is backed up by blackcurrant buds and wild flowers. It is lively on the palette, with very pleasant acidulous characteristics prolonged by light fruity notes. Full and refreshing, it is dominated by flinty stones and chalk.
