Score 94/100 · Drink 2016-2024, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Oct 2016
From 45-year-old vines in a south-facing, 0.4-hectare plot inside the prestigious Monts Damnés, the 2014 Sancerre Comtesse is a picture-book Sancerre. Pure and subtle on the lovely clear, fresh and aromatic but also mineral nose, it indicates ripe white and yellow fruits perfectly intertwined with crushed limestone, thyme and elderberry flavors. Full-bodied yet pure, highly elegant and very complex on the palate, this is a lean yet dense and perfectly balanced Mont-Damnés with a long and persistent, beautifully aromatic, as well as salty finish. Still young and with further potential, but you can already enjoy La Comtesse with great pleasure.
