Pretty lifted fruit is the focus, a little balsam, dried mushrooms and roses too... fresh and fruity on the palate, very easy tannins, full but not a rich and thick style... finish is salty and fruity, spicy and woodsy, a little floral and herbal, fine tannins grip more here. This is probably best over the next few years, but it will also probably be fine, if quite tertiary, in 10...

Aromas of ripe pear, lime, grapefruit, elderflower, a little something veggie and herbal, this is quite ripe and fruity for a 2021... full and viscous, deep and cutting acid, layers of fruit, gorgeous inner perfume of citrus and flowers... long and mineral, fruit is pristine and intense through the finish. This is not super primary, but it's also not showing anything tertiary, it will be worth following at least a few more years. Brilliant Sancerre, about as good as an "entry-level" cuvee gets.

Big billowing nose of dark cherry, strawberry, cedar, roses, airy spice, a little blood orange.... full and spicy, juicy cherry and berries, a touch of tannin... long spicy finish, cedar and flowers pop with the fruit. This is still on the young side, I would save it for a few more years if I had more. Not much rosé out there at this level, this is special.
