GUIDE HACHETTE

 

Sancerre blanc 2007: "This cuvée offers a discreet nose based on citrus fruits, white flowers and minerality. Round and full, the wine is pleasant until the final. A nice wine for the aperitif."

 

Pouilly Fumé 2007: "This young cuvée gives citrus fruits and dried apricot aromas. The attack is clear, the mouth is fresh and confirms olfactory sensations. A promising Pouilly Fumé!"

 

Sancerre rouge 2005: "The vanilla touch of the wood appears in first nose, then cherry and blackberry  notes come trough after aeration. Round, the wine is consistant and reveals still firm tanins at the end "

 

Sancerre blanc 2006: "ripe and generous it has also been selected"
