Note di degustazione
The white-golden 2016 Sancerre Edmond is clear, fresh and fragrant on the coolish, flinty, pure, concentrated, refreshingly mineral and even iron-scented nose. From about 50- to 90-year-old vines on calcareous marl soils, this is a deep, pure, fresh, refined and elegant Sancerre with a tight mineral structure, yeasty layers, great intensity, almost Riesling-like acidity and finesse and a very long, complex, grippy, lip-smacking finish. This is a powerful and sustainable classic. The 2016 is rich and powerful but full of energy, grip and tension. A Sancerre worth waiting for. 13% alcohol. Tasted in November and January 2020.
