Old vines Sancerre and Kamala! A winning combination! The wine’s nose has loads of intense, limestoney minerality, and zesty gooseberry fruit, ripe enough to give off a hint of tropicality. A bit of green gage (is that one word or two?). Perfect on a sultry August evening to accompany pecan-grilled haddock fillets. Here’s to November 3!

Consistently one of the top Sancerre every vintage in my view. Perfectly just ripe fruit, beautiful limestoney minerality, nice acids.

Nov 25th, 2018Really nice. Nose is flinty and chalky, with ripe lime and green apple fruit. Intense and refreshing, the tight, clean minerally and citrus zest flavors cling to the palate. Everything in nice balance. Excellent value.
