Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2015

[Tasted on January 1, 2025 at Home]

Melon, pear and grapefruit, with lemon zest and flinty notes. Wine has maintained acidity despite 10 years of aging.

Reva Alban Estate Vineyard Syrah 2011

Beautiful wine. Tasting outstanding. Dark purple fruits and berries, olive brine, dried flowers, cured meat. Its dry lingering finish of fruit and olive just lingers. This is great with 3 hours of air. So glad to have gotten this bottle. Rhone ranger!!! Probably has another 5+ years of evolution in it, maybe more. — 6 months ago

La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Old Sancerre, such a rarity, preserves that precision focused acidity and notes of dried lemon, dried pineapple and dried peach. Finish is refreshing. Wow. — 7 months ago

Les Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2024 “Les Monts Damés” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white flowers, grapefruit, star fruit, alfalfa, and cream cheese stuffed poblano pepper. There’s also this Double Bubble thing going on. Wild stuff. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. In a world of increasing ambiguity, I love that this is immediately identifiable as Sancerre. Drink now through 2034+. — 6 months ago
