 Tasted by michaeltcoventry on 4/24/2021 & rated 95 points: Very flinty, minerality, amazing with salmon. (639 views)
 Tasted by JLaRoche on 12/6/2020 & rated 92 points: This was wonderful. Fabulously plush without sacrificing acidity/minerality. One of the best Sancerres we have had. (833 views)
 Tasted by Sourdough on 7/21/2020 & rated 85 points: Clear, pale yellow. Modest but pleasant nose. Good initial mouth feel. Profile is very temperature sensitive. Rather light and a touch insipid cold but quickly growing acidity as it warms overall a pleasant white but not up to what I aspire for in a Sancerre. (849 views)
 Tasted by paintinginacave on 7/18/2020 & rated 82 points: Limited notes taken. Pale straw fading to a watery silver outer edge, very reductive straight off the bat but that blew off to reveal pyrazines, bell pepper, tomato leaf, crushed rocks, grapefruit pith, and gooseberry. No real depth or concentration. (854 views)

2016 vintage:
"Quality and concentration is good, with Chenin Blanc being particularly noteworthy in 2016 while Sancerre is thought to be the best of the Sauvignon Blanc appellations. Cabernet Franc is 'delicious, ripe and fruity' according to Loire courtier Chris Hardy." - Jancis Roninson

2017 vintage reports:
Jancis Robinson
Vinfolio
