WWC - NJH1122 (Fort Worth Club) : Tasted blind - light straw in the glass, certainly did not look 10+ years old; stone fruit/white fruit on the nose, and almost floral; slight sweetness on the palate - did not have any real grass, cat pee, or melon, but could taste a hint of oak. I was torn between a sauv. blanc and something from Alsace or Italy. I called a 2014 CA Sauv Blanc.

Still crisp, seems screw caps do their job. Fruit is still fresh but has started to fade a little. Would not keep much longer.

Light straw yellow colour. Blackcurrant leaves and limestone on the nose. Taste of gooseberries, blackcurrant leaves and limestone with hints of citrus fruits. An excellent Sancerre, might be even better if given some years in the cellar. Perfect with shellfish or sushi.

Color lemon, cloudy. Nose medium+ intensity refers to white ash and flint, with broad hints of citrus peel and a pineapple suspicion. Mouth similar intensity, which brings memories of unripe peach, lime peel, vanilla and a hint of melon and pineapple. Characteristic minerality (note: gravel), crisp acidity and medium+ finish.

Pop & pour. Clear medium gold. The nose shows grassy notes with typical SB citrus aromatics. Bright, acidic SB with tasty citrus fruit. Moderate to high acid. Good freshness on the finish. Very nice, likeable wine. Reads a bit more NZ than Sancerre for me.

Incredibly grassy nose. Palate with a little bit of tartness and a sense that it's trying to trick you into thinking it's candy....but without the sweetness. Interesting for sure, just not my thing.

Urtypisk och något återhållen Sancerre med en elegant arom av nässlor, gräs, citrus och fläder. Tryggt på varje blindprovning. Krispig och stenig i munnen med medel på det mesta. Ovanligt trevlig, brukar vanligtvis gäspa ljudligt när jag dricker "enkel" Sauvignon Blanc.

Nose is of honeysuckle and quince. Flavor doesn't seem rounded out, finish is harsh and the wine is overall a bit acidic.

Youthful nose, nettles, gooseberry, passion fruit, a hint of mineral smoke. Medium bodied, good ripe fruit, passion fruit and mango, fresh acidity. Finishes well, very clean, maybe lacking a bit of bite and length but it is a very attractive wine.

A beautiful, classic Sancerre with ripe, rich fruit body with notes of pear, and spicy floral notes on the nose. Some minerality adds complexity. Boundless acid with tart citrus signature, but not offensively so. Extremely long, pleasant round finish. Overall a well balanced and very enjoyable wine.

Che l'annata 2013 in Loira sia stata veramente difficile, si sa. Purtroppo nonostante gli encomiabili sforzi del produttore, nel vino si sente tutta. Buon naso, molto "verde". Al palato l'acidità è fortissima. Sentori d'erba e di limone verde. Non è male ma non certo paragonabile alla grazia, all'eleganza, e alla varietà di sapori espressa dal 2012. Forse merita un punteggio leggermente più alto, ma il fatto che il 2013 sia pure aumentato di 1 euro rispetto al 2012, mi fa …

Bu şarap, orta-batı Fransa’da yer alan ve ülkenin 3. büyük şarap bölgesi (üretim miktarına göre) olan Loire Vadisi’nin Sancerre alt bölgesinden geliyor. Sancerre Bölgesi’nde apelasyon kurallarına gore kullanılmasına izin verilen tek beyaz üzüm olan Sauvignon Blanc’dan yapılan şarap türünden beklenen bektaşi üzümü (gooseberry), yeni kesilmiş çimen, yeşil dolmalık biber kokularını yansıtmakla birlikte ananas ve mango benzeri tropik meyve aromalarına da sahip. Damakta hafif-orta gövdeli, meyveli ancak asidinin beklenenden de daha yüksek oluşu ile damağı zorluyor.

Wines in the Maldives (Fudaan, Anantara Dhigu) : A very decent SB. Rather big and ripe for a Sancerre, but certainly well controlled. Nose showed classic SB notes of gooseberries, grass, passionfruit and a dose of earthy mineral. Very nice. The palate had some higher tone, citrus notes, with grapefruit at the fore, along with a fleshy white fruit background where some ripe gooseberry notes lingered alongside a chalky mineral finish. A bit simple, but a nice entry-level wine with …

It has a nice acidity and freshness, not as strong on gooseberries as NZ sauvignon blanc. It matched up very well with a onion veloute, and would pair up with seafood.

Un mariage à trois réussi. En apéro, le vin est acidulé, crayeux, minéral, bien fait, mais pas vraiment dans ma palette. Il mérite un 84. Au repas, il se révèle un WINNER: des crevettes épicées à la Montignac, une salade d'orange épicée au curry et un riz aux épinards se réunissent pour ce mariage parfait. Il monte à 90.

Ett välgjort och prisvärt vin! Doft: Aromatisk och nästan nyanserad... Grund av kattpiss och nässlor men även lite söt lime, mandarin och passion i sekundären. Smak: Hög syra och beska. Lång eftersmak. 4+12+15+7 = 88 p. Perfekt vin till getost med honung och sallad.

Caroline Wine Shop - Loire (Carolines Wine Shop) : Pleasant, intense notes of fresh herbs. With clean and precise palate entry, this is a relatively straightforward wine with minimal to no wood influence. Edgy texture with a lively acidity but falls a bit short on the finish.

Nose: Served chilled, the nose starts with grapefruit, pinapple and stone with a sea salt accent. As it warms emerge pear syrup and mandarine aromas. Taste: Wide in mouth, complex acidity, nice aromatic finish. Note: This is quite different, and more complex than a Chateau de Sancerre, yet has poise and does not reveal itself at once. The nose evolves quite a bit over the duration of every glass, and food pairing yields interesting tastes. Rather than an immediate 'wow' …
