Tasting note

A rich, savory expression from this steep hillside vineyard, Monts Damnés, which is one of Sancerre's most famous sites. Wild-fermented, the 2019 Sancerre Mont Damnés is gently aromatic, featuring ripe, slightly oxidative notes of bruised apple, fig biscuits and truffle. Round and textured, with a satisfying element of grip on the finish, this is a wine that expresses itself through touch rather than smell. You need to spend time with it to appreciate its nuance. Balanced and gently fresh, this is a stylistic interpretation of Sancerre, but eminently satisfying.

Score: 91
