Tasting notes
Intense in color and tropical fruit aromas, with beautifully fine, flinty notes and purity with an almost hedonistic background, the 2016 Sancerre Les Romains opens with a deep, concentrated and substantial nose. Full-bodied, lush and elegant on the silky-textured palate, with lingering salinity and mineral grip, this is a wide, rich yet refined and structured Sancerre of great class, length and well-dosed power. It is beautifuly citric on the aftertaste. Tasted in February 2021.
