Award-winning wine that has been a popular choice for customers time and time again. The first nose is dense with subtle aromas of ripe fruit such as grapefruit and vine peach. Once it starts to open further, complex hues of citrus and pear escape followed by a hint of fresh herbs and roasted hazelnuts.

On the palate, the is a frank and generous attack starting with crisp white-fleshed fruits (peach, quince, pear) opening with exotic pineapple nuances.
A greedy mid-palate, revealing optimal ripeness where the aromas of orange blossom mingled with a sweetness like creamed honey. The wine is full-bodied and offers a persistent finish, with a melted and perfectly controlled accord of citrus peel and spices (cinnamon, ginger).

Understated, restrained and elegant with superb expression of fruit. A polished, floral nose shows a hint of oak spice and minerally fruits leading to a palate of yellow plums and flint, backed up by a fresh acidity singing with mineral nuances. Great ageing potential” - Decanter 

We say – a truly fine Sancerre. Only produced in the best years, where grapes are completely picked by hand from 45 year old vines.
