DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS 2009

SILVER FOR THE SANCERRE WHITE WINE AOC 2008

Quite minerally with some tropical fruits. Really attractive. Starts off very gentle but then builds texture and weight. Really good.



COMMENDED FOR THE SANCERRE ROSE AOC 2008



SILVER FOR THE GRANDE CUVEE AOC 2007

Very ripe exotic fruit and toasty oak nose, nice purity, full and ripe, soft and clean in the mouth. Long fresh finish.
