From Sancerre’s famed terres blanches or kimmeridgien chalk soil…the same that underlies Chablis and much of Champagne.
No reviews here, but here’s British wine writer Jamie Goode on the 1996 vintage at nearly 20 years old:
Lovely freshness here: wax, citrus, pear and green apples. Powerful and spicy with some nice waxy notes. Very supple with lovely smooth development. Crystalline and fine with nice green hints. Pure. 95/100
