NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a remarkable expression of Sancerre.The "Vieilles Vignes" designation indicates that the grapes used to produce this wine come from old vines, which often results in more concentrated flavors and complexity.
On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, intertwined with delicate floral notes. There might also be hints of green apple and a subtle herbaceous character, which is typical of Sancerre wines.
The palate is likely to be crisp and refreshing, with a zesty acidity that brings a lively energy to the wine. Flavors of citrus fruits are likely to dominate, accompanied by a mineral undertone that adds depth and complexity. The wine may also exhibit a subtle grassy or flinty character, which is characteristic of Sancerre.
