Note di degustazione
The 2016 Sancerre Les Romains opens with a deep and intense, beautifully floral and herbal bouquet indicating a first maturity and revealing white fruit aromas and some coolish flinty-marly notes. The combination of cool (terroir) and warmth (sun) is really fascinating here. On the palate, the wine is dense yet immediately mature in flavors and fruit aromas, whereas the finish is lively fresh and tensioned, developing good length and stimulating grip and salinity. This is a fascinating wine that should develop with air. So, a carafe is more helpful than a big glass—a wide Burgundy glass should be perfect in any case. Tasted in January 2021.

Salty, citric and simple. Chalky texture. Fresh and complete if a bit light and plain. (RH)
