Claude Riffault Les Chailloux Sancerre 2014 

Light and bright gold color. Deep nose of lemon, peaches, crushed rocks and a pretty saltiness. On the palate there is that round and almost fat mouthfeel, there is also acidity, salty and sea shell notes, then lemon, lime and peach flavors. Might feel a little rich, but this is so elegant with a long lasting finish that it can just be good! Excellent (91)

Made of sauvignon blanc from 13 to 40 years old vines. Aged in oak barrels for less than a year. Alcohol level of 13%

Got this wine through private import, but some of his wines are now available in SAQ stores.

Lighly colored with green hue. Nose of grapefruit, citrus fruit, herbacious and box tree notes in a fresh, mineral and expressive way. On the palate the acidity blends with a round and almost fat mouthfeel even if the wine is dry, and last quite long in a mineral finish. Very good (89)

Domaine François Cotat Les Monts Damnés Sancerre 2007

You don’t see that often white wine bottles with few years of cellaring done being opened as it is usually something kept for red wine. And when that type of wine is tasted blind, the appreciation is raised since it become harder to find what the bearer brought and pourred us…

Light gold color. Some sulfur at first on the nose, then smoke, peach and citrus fruit with a little green side I don’t usually match with the varietal aromas of sauvignon blanc. Expressive yet serious on the palate with high mineral / sea shells side, then the citrus fruit, yellow apples and litchi flavors. Balanced and bright at first and round, charming and salty on a long finish. Complex and tasty. The bottle owner patience allowed us to be rewqarded with its content! Excellent (91)
