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.
