Strong wine, so clearly marked by its skin contact. It's an AOC wine. Very surprising.

Incredible Sancerre. Oxidized, structure with razor acidity.

Second time having this producer/bottle but this was much older than the previous 2014 vintage I had. Drinking young with great energy and acidity. Great dry finish, though some notes of orange peel linger. Pairs well with different foods! LOVE!
