Noel et Jean-Luc Raimbault Sancerre

Good stuff. I feel prior vintages were better, but still a tasty wine for butter poached halibut. Nothing too complex, but satisfies the white wine senses. Need to buy more

Light, crisp, lingers on the palate. Very lightly astringent but not offensively so. I don't remember how much I paid because it's been laying in my wine fridge for eight months, but I'm sure it was worth the price.

We have always enjoyed past vintages of this wine, and this one does not disappoint. Modest fruit and brightness combined with a touch of minerals make this an easy drinking wine for a casual meal. Paired with poached halibut in butter and sautéed green beans.

Clean somewhat weak fruit melon, yuzu, lime pith, saline. Medium finish. Solid table wine with ok QPR.

Good restaurant wine. The concentration of fruit flavor is frankly a touch low, but can't complain for $20. What really makes this wine great to drink is the freshness and the strong saline streak that pervades the wine. Almost like salted lemonade. Not a wine to contemplate over, but satisfying.

Crisp clean, bright, with surprising depth and good acidity. Quite enjoyable over three nights.

e: ultra pale straw n: lemon peel/juice, chalky, honeysuckle p: acid at 11, softens in the mid palate, more acid to finish. More passionfruit at pop which softens to lemon sorbet over time
