2019 Sancerre Comtesse

The 2019 Comtesse shows what can become of this single-parcel wine with some time in bottle. This relaxes into its skin, offering a clear spine of acidity that pierces its core like a bolt of electricity but also adds flesh around its backbone. There's no doubting the precision and line, but its curves are rounded now. The 2019 has a real sense of vibration and energy. It remains young and will continue to drink well for at least a decade. Lemon and honey tea notes linger on the long finish.
