What reviewers say
“Pale lemon Med+ youthful nose High acidity, dry, med body, Med+ flavors of lime zest, lemon, white peach, nectarine, green apple, pear, hay, wet stones, and flint. Very good Sancerre. Overall it is crisp, bright, and fresh but balanced with plenty of integrated fruit flavor. It all works and nothing stands out - to some that might be boring but I appreciate the elegance.”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 83.
