Fine and discreet nose opening up first with notes of dried fruits, almonds and pistachios. Secondly, the wine delivers aromas of citrus, orange zest and mirabelle plum associated with mineral and iodine notes.
On the palate, the attack is supple and the wine has a stunning roundness with a nice mineral texture all along. Beautiful freshness with a saline finish and notes of mirabelle plum and citrus zests.
This wine generally pairs well with pork, seafood, or spicy foods like salted pumpkin crumble, ham puff pastry, or eggplant tartare.

The 2018 Sancerre Les Cotes aux Valets is a clay-limestone, single vineyard in the south of the appellation. The 2018 is a lively entry; it is starting to develop almond meal character. It's a little hot (14%) on the finish with ripe orchard fruit as well as firm lightly salty acidity on the finish. Tangy.
