Jean-Max Roger, Sancerre, Cuvee Genese

Mixed citrus fruit, green apple skin, delicate florals/herbs, beautiful minerality. Really balanced, lively and energetic.

Lovely, intense aromas of lemon/lime citrus, white floral, and spice layered over stony minerals with a hint of white peach. It has very good weight on the medium-full to full-bodied palate. Elegant citrus, white floral, and stony mineral flavour replays are lifted by fresh, juicy acidity. There's a nice, subtle chalky texture on the mid-palate, while citrus, leesy-stony mineral and floral notes linger on the very long, crisp, and balanced finish.

A really solid showing. Lovely ripeness which borders on tropical and gives a full yet fresh mouthfeel and texture. None of the grassy, cat pee notes. Global Warming is not helping most wine regions but this is an example of an improved style, at least for my palate....
