Perfumed, rounded wine, packed with fruit, its ripe flavor given point with kiwi fruit acidity. There is a light spiciness that adds to the complexity. Age for 3-4 years.

A full, ripe wine, with delicious white plum, sweet grapefruit and a tense mineral edge. There is a great texture from fruit tannins, boosted by intense shots of acidity. Age for another year or two.

Full, rich wine, with a concentrated structure to go with the pineapple and apple juice flavors. Still young, the wine should age for a year, to fill out the structure and give final richness.

Like most Savennières, this is a dry wine. Yet it is so rich, rounded and packed with ripe tropical fruits. The texture is opulent, smooth, creamy and concentrated. It needs to age for at least fours years.

This is fruity, balanced and full of blackberry flavor, with juicy acidity and an attractive perfumed character. Drinkable now, it should also mature well over 2–3 years.

This is a sweet, botrytized wine, treading the line between richness and intense acidity. A dry edge and flavors of ripe yellow fruits and a touch of maple syrup give the wine both complexity and aging potential.

Green pear and quince flavors are found on a wine that has some richness. It is easy and soft initially, then a firm texture and the freshest acidity come through. But finally, it return to a rich character.

A more rounded, full-bodied style of Sancerre, pushing aromatic fruits, kiwi and grapefruit along with its intense acidity. There is a mineral edge, coming from the chalk soil of Sancerre. Age for a few months.
