Softer than many Sancerre rouges I’ve had, but still mineral driven. A very pretty version of Sancerre Pinot. — 7 years ago

At NYE dinner...wine was rich and full, but did not have the bright acidity I was looking for to match our food choices. Will try again in a few months.

Richer fruit and a it candied compared to burgundy but a solid expression. More akin to boutique Oregon that its french counterparts. — 10 years ago

Ultra-dry and austere on the palate. Not much fruit, a lot of acidity up front, and absolutely none of the "green" notes that you might typically associate with a Sauvignon Blanc. Great minerality and very complex, almost abstract. This is unlike any other Sancerre that I have had, but I can say, without hesitation, that it is my favorite of all the many Sancerres that I have had. Serendipitous and wonderful. — 11 years ago

Perennial favorite. French Pinot rose. Good fruit. Even better acidity. Strawberry and watermelon fruit with good acidity and a French like finish. Lord love a duck, lord love a good Rose. — 11 years ago

2008, Francois Cotat, Les Monts Damnes Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc. Brought this one back from France in 2011. Has aged well, no signs of oxidation and is still vibrant with lots of citrus. Screaming acidity, med alcohol and a long finish. Lots of grapefruit, lemon zest with a little orange blossom, white pepper and fresh cut grass. A little minerality on the finish. Need to find a 2011.

Expressions of stone fruit, delicate herbal notes (perhaps white flowers) and a slight hint of melon on the noise. Striking acidity, bright and mouth watering. Strong mineral backbone with a clean and refreshing lemon peel finish. Excellent. — 7 years ago

Saturday afternoon enjoying this Sancerre Pinot Noir Rose beautiful peach in color.

The nose is very expressive in red fruit, lots of strawberries, peach aromatics, vanilla with nice wet river rock.

On the palate I get under ripe strawberry, sour peach with a very prominent minerality.

There is a very long finish, clean and fresh with medium + acidity. A very nice summer rose. — 10 years ago

Took several hours in a decanter before it opened up. Once it did though, it was absolutely wonderful and a great insight into yet another facet of the grape. — 11 years ago

Wow! Zing! Fresh acidity. Didn't really seem like a Sauvignon Blanc at first. It's subtle and opened up. — 11 years ago

Notes of fresh stone fruits layered with wet stone and anjou pear. All diving into a racy palate of green apple skins with a perfectly balanced mineral finish. Boulay does not mess around with Sancerre. — 12 years ago

Powerful and rich. Serious sap. Framed by good acidity on a mineral spine. And this was a mild leaker. — 12 years ago

Soft melon-kiwi-white peach entree, adding some gooseberry, fennel and a touch of sour cream on the midpalate. Searching for acidity and mineralité... I like it, but it's so very different than the style of the Cotat-family. Softer, easier, much more elegant and reticent than expected. Is that the house style or the vintage-character shining through? — 10 years ago

Its just a great Wine. I'm not a big sauv blanc fan (pairings not withstanding) but this is just good. Well balanced, mineraly, veggies, herbs on the nose it's awesome. — 11 years ago

Procured from Le Caveau in Chamblee, GA. One of my favorite bottlings of Sauvignon Blanc, this cuvée has yet to disappoint. Good flavor display on the palate with a nice acidity which drives everything home, cutting through any fat. Refreshing. The 2013 vintage was not quite as precise as my experience with previous vintages, but for Les Monts Damnés that's simply faint praise. Worth a buy, absolutely. — 11 years ago

Surprisingly light. It starts with a floral overlay - it's there then dissipates into a light finish and then gone. Any easy drink — 12 years ago

The best Sancerre in France, according to the sommelier at London's Le Vieux Comptoir. That remains to be confirmed, but it has a delicious balance between fruit and acid. Yum! — 13 years ago
