Sancerre Blanc, Comte Lafond, Loire Valley France 2023
Acquired by Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, Comte Lafond are internationally known to produce one of the finest Sancerre in the world. The lively and very frank attack precedes the acidulous roundness of the summer fruits expressed by the nose which are mingled with the refreshing flavors of exotic fruits (lychee, mango). Then, in delicate harmony, the fat and smells of fresh almond and pear are revealed. The finish, based on a stony minerality, is prolonged on notes of very ripe lemon.
