Tasting notes
The 2015 Sancerre Chambrates opens coolish, flinty and deep, with substantial minerality on the nose that displays a dense and substantial bouquet with salty notes of crushed stones intermixed with passion fruit, Tasmania pepper and peach aromas. Rich and round yet pure and salty on the vital and mineral palate, this is a superb 2015 because it bears the warmth of the vintage as well as the coolness of the terroir. It is wide and complex, with fine grip and long mineral tension with this rich and intense fruit. A superb 2015. Tasted in February 2021.

Sophisticated oak scent, loads of citrus fruit concentration. Impressive, well-endowed body. Saline savoury finish. (RH)
