A balanced, vivid and succulent Sancerre, proposing aromas of warm herbs, sliced pears and some lime. It’s medium-bodied, precise and lively with bright acidity. Salivating and savory finish. Drink or hold.

Tasted a week before bottling in July 2024, the 2023 La Cote des Monts Damnés is a rather delicate style of this steep vineyard compared with the more muscular 2022. It focuses on pure, fresh fruit and elegance. This wine has been hands-off and made in stainless steel to concentrate on fruit purity. A tender flesh on the mid-palate plumps up its light feet expression. The acidity is only gently fresh rather than racy, but the chalky nature of its texture, a key to the Monts Damnés wines, offers line and length. This will hit the market in the fall of 2024. Expect a new, more modern label. It's also organic.
