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

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

2014 subtle and appealing fruit and floral aromas with a hint of vanilla bean and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Nicely balanced and refreshing. Longish. — 10 years ago

Very nice pear nose with a nice mineral taste. It pared excellently with halibut. — 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

Yummy! Tangerine and a little tangy. Really unusual for Sancerre, but great . — 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.
