Star bright, very pale straw gold. Very inviting nose and medium palate of green apple, citrus rind, and mild chalky mineral. Medium acidity. Ready for your best seafood dishes or soft cheeses. Excellent example of the higher end of Sauvignon Blanc (but at a more midrange price). Drink now through 2024. — 5 years ago

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

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 — 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

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.

On this Wednesday, "Hump Day", I have opened the 2019 Domaine Claude Riffault Sancerre Les Boucauds.

On the nose I am getting lime, white peach, pear, melon, gooseberry, nectarine and minerals.

On the palate is good notes of lime, white peach, grapefruit, pear, minerality and some flinty stone.

This is a beautiful Sancerre medium bodied wine with medium + acidity that moves nicely into a long fresh citrus mineral finish. I hope everyone's week is going well as we continue to move quickly into spring. What a beautiful week we have been having with springtime temperatures. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the rest of your week. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂 — 5 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

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
