Color: crystalline pale yellow with silver highlights. Nose: lemon, grapefruit, white flowers and chalky notes. Palate: focused and chiselled, with pure fruit, ripe acidity and a fine mineral backbone leading to a saline, zesty finish. Pairing: fines de claire oysters, cucumber granita. Comment: a precise and racy Sancerre, where Sauvignon vividly expresses the tension and minerality of Kimmeridgian marl.
