Domaine Durand 2018 Sancerre Reserve, Loire, France





Domaine Durand 2018 Sancerre Reserve, Loire, France, $19.99-$32.99, 89 points, was a light brass color with a faint jade sheen.
The aroma was just 'peachy' and showed a dominant grass influence, light pome blossoms and a hint of lemon (very lovely).

Light-bodied white wine with bright acidity and flavors of flint, grass, sweet hay, white pepper, and melon rind.
Finished long on the trailing palate, an intensifying ginger note, and a spot on 13% alcohol.
A rich robust Sancerre, not as refined as I'm used to, and not as stony, but quite good.

  1. Yes, but you have to love just 13% alcohol with food. Haven't had a Sancerre in a while. Choices in the shops here aren't very inspiring.
