| CUVÉE LES CAILLOTTES SANCERRE 2020 AC |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
JEAN-MAX ROGER |
| Bright light straw colour. Bright, slightly spicy, gently complex, faintly floral, very slightly grassy, ripe, lemon-melon-apple nose with some mineral notes. Dry, medium bodied albeit quite well structured, slightly spicy, attractive, ripe, lemon-melon-apple flavours with a lingering, cfairly crisp, lifted, mineral-tinged, well balanced finish. Very nice mouthfeel - best with seafood. Quite ready to drink, it has a surprising 14% alcohol and under 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L209B004622 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Bigger and better than the 2019 that was released on September 10, 2022.5. |

| TASTING NOTE: This taut, fresh wine is sourced from vines spanning 6-40 years of age planted in soil with plenty of caillottes (small limestone pebbles). It shows vibrant, sharply defined fruit and a classic gunflint minerality. Pair with aperitifs featuring goat cheese or oysters, or with a main dish of seafood or sautéed pork. Enjoy through 2028, but don't be surprised if this drinks to the end of the decade. |
