Aromas of lemon curd, white flowers, fresh ginger. Broad yet refined, good texture with more citrus, spices. Very long. Pairs well with Fresh oysters or other shellfish or white meat.
From an average of 19-year-old vines on jurassic limestone (Oxfordiens) and picked between September 5 and 26, the 2018 Sancerre Chambrates opens with a clear, refined and aromatic nose with ripe pear and delicate flint stone notes. Round, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a rich and full-bodied but perfectly balanced Chambrates with very fine tannins and lingering salinity. Tasted in February 2021.
