Pleasant enough with ripe honeysuckle character and a bit of citrus fruit. Perhaps lacks definition or the acid profile to score higher- just a touch flabby. Still as always with this producer it's a decent enough wine. 87-88pts

This is pale yellow in the glass, and has appealing aromas of citrus and riper stone fruit. With air, a slightly oily note appears as well. This sees time on lees and in oak and that shows in the riper notes, but is well judged. On the first day the acidity is quite pleasing but after 24 hours its fallen just a shade flabby which is slightly disappointing. For the EU12.95 I see online direct from the producer this is a bargain especially with its crazy over produced packaging. For the notional UK price of £28 it would be awful value.

This is excellent Sancerre, really showing what the grape can do in this region. Really restrained but appealing nose of citrus and more tropical fruit. Lovely balance and poise on the palate, with decent length. Impressive stuff.

The auctions in France are poor value, I was advised to buy wine at deceased estate sales! In terms of online players I recommend https://www.ventealapropriete.com/ .. some very good offers and I believe they deliver to Italy.
11/2/2023 9:09:00 AM - Bonjour mon ami, désolé de te déranger et salutations d'Italie... J'ai vu que tu es français et que tu es collectionneur.
J'ai une question à vous poser, si possible: pourriez-vous, par hasard, me renseigner sur les circuits de vente des vins français, au-delà des différents sites Internet connus? Même les chaînes Telegram, WhatsApp ou assimilées, spécialisées dans les ventes privées, bref, pas les sites e-commerce habituels...
Il y aura sûrement aussi en France un ou plusieurs lieux virtuels où passionnés, collectionneurs et vendeurs non officiels vendront et achèteront leurs bouteilles, peut-être à des prix plus accessibles.
Merci beaucoup pour votre temps.
