What are our thoughts on this?

I haven’t tried much Sancerre, used to CA or NZ Sauvignon Blancs in the $25-45 range. Mostly my wife wants them, not my go to but I enjoy them.

This is the highest end Sancerre I’ve purchased or drank. Got a good deal on this I think at $55.

Got the intense notes of wax, weeds and straw immediately after pouring. Has softened a bit - getting the stone earthiness and nectarine the experts have found now. I find it very well balanced, has a bit of light, rounded creaminess on the mouthfeel, you can sort of tell it has 3g of residual sugar but not sweet by any means. Not the same crisp, citrus acidity I’m used to. Not a long finish but it’s nice and has some green apple in it. Funny that I chose such an atypical expression to jump into in this range! Still has a funk on the landing that’s interesting and I’m not sure if that’s common in higher end Sancerre like this (it’s akin to the smell from the rind of a lighter Brie). I know it was produced more organically.

I do really enjoy it - will be finished tomorrow with crab stuffed shrimp for Christmas Eve, although there is probably a more appropriate expression for that pairing.
