Tasting note

The 2018 Les Culs de Beaujeu shows a full-bodied, yet never heavy, style of Sancerre from one of the region's steepest vineyards. It opens its arms to embrace you with its breadth, yet maintains clarity of fruit, a rare combination. This wine offers floral notes, nectarine and a fine line of acidity, providing a drawn-out, textural finish. There's the merest lingering hint of heat from alcohol, but perhaps I'm being overly sensitive here; it does not detract from enjoyment.

Score: 93
