It’s quite a flourish of a name that refers to the vineyard from which this wine comes. This 2004 is now mature, a combination of honey, nuts and a hint of green asparagus and aromas of undergrowth. Go for this wine for its secondary flavors, not the fruit, and then it becomes delicious.

Ripe, tropical fruit flavors from super-ripe grapes. That seems to be the way Henry Natter works, and the result is a soft, smooth wine, with a touch of caramel, quince and white peach flavors. The acidity is only apparent towards the end.

This is a soft, rich Sancerre, coming from the warm vineyards of Montigny. There is also just a touch of wood and oxidation, which opens and softens the underlying citrus fruit flavors. With its weight, this is certainly more of a food wine than an apéritif. Imported by Vintage ’59 Imports.

Caramel and toast aromas lead to a wine where wood is, surprisingly for Sancerre, an important element. It has weight, a creamy texture, suggestions of mellow peaches, soft and ripe.

Soft and smooth, showing mature red berries and a touch of mushroom. Already very ready to drink: light but also with plenty of ripe fruit.

A delicate onion skin-colored wine, keeping its freshness after 18 months, just touching on toast and caramel, but principally offering bitter cherries and raspberry flavors.
