Roger et Didier Raimbault Sancerre Les Belles Cotes

PnP at cellar temperature from magnum. A little shy on the nose with wet rock and stone fruit aromas. Flavorful, though, with juicy peaches, orange blossoms, lemon rind, and tangy minerality on the palate. Medium(-) acid leaves this on the mature end of the spectrum, structurally speaking. Medium finish. Really pleasant drinking by itself or with dinner. Recommended. "Very good," 89/100.

Bracing and juicy apricots, orange blossoms, and minerality. Not overly crisp, it paired exceptionally well with Stone Crab claws and mustard sauce.

This is a fairly fruit forward style of Sancerre, with notes of honeysuckle, limestone, slate. Fresh and lively, with a pleasant though somewhat muted nose. Not a bad price at $19, but not a great bargain either.

Muted citrus and white flower notes lead to lemon-lime and apple blossom flavors with a slight edge of slate on the finish. Enjoyed with grilled walleye.
