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. — 6 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 — 11 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. — 9 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.

Brilliant Sancerre with a very light oak influence. Great minerality with chalk and flint happily supporting grapefruit, lemon, apple and a whiff of cut grass. Great depth, firm acidity and very expressive. A tremendous example of upscale Sauvignon blanc — 6 years ago

1st bottle is a deep gold and based on its smell it is obviously oxidized. Not at all similar to prior bottles of this and air didn't help. Bought via auction so maybe provenance is an issue. But second bottle is appropriate. Medium gold color with nice weight. Fruit forward in the nose with notes of sweet lemon, apricot, orange peel, stone, and a little earth. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Lovely fruit forward tone, but with fine grained acidity that ratchets up complexity. In a perfect drinking window methinks. — 8 years ago

Light straw yellow with grapefruit and earthy aromas. On the palate clean, crisp flavors of sour apple and white flesh fruits with overly expressive acidity with a slight sweetness. On the finish this dry wine lingered nicely with some mineral tones. Elegant. — 9 years ago

Apples, honeydew melon, lemon rind, and freshly cut grass on the nose. Crisp, medium-bodied with a touch of minerality. — 10 years ago

9.4

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. — 10 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. — 11 years ago
