Stephen Brook | Discreet lemon-and-lime nose, pretty rather than powerful, but none the worse for that. Fresh and precise, a delicate and almost filigree style, with charm rather than weight and power. A sherbetty minerality does come through on the mid-palate and lifts the finish, which is poised and long. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Green-silver in color. Sweet and warm, rather expansive, and suddenly much less “Sancerre” than the Monts Damnés wines, with ample stony breadth; almost Chablis-like. Touch of reduction, too. This is what you find on the palate: wealth and structure, something decidedly vinous, full and long; a breadth and an expansiveness that wasn’t at all evident on Monts Damnés. This is truly high-summer Sancerre. The fruit is choice and delicious, nuanced and unobvious, ample, and a warm stoniness lurks behind, too. You might almost see a little root spice on the finish. Very fine. | 92

Stephan Reinhardt | This is deep, dense, and serious on the nose, fresh, and with crunchy, stony notes intermingling with the white-fruit aromas; very elegant and refined. Full-bodied, concentrated, and fresh, as well as powerful on the palate; this is an impressive Sancerre from the Grande Côte. It is not the wine you’d most like to drink today, but there are so many talents (and tannins!) here that will make this Sancerre a great partner for fish in a couple of years. Be ready to be surprised then. | 93
