Critics Ratings

'The 2011 Sancerre Génération XIX preserves a scallop-like sweet and saline savour, with rich though piquant nut oils and decided chalkiness inflecting the foundation of ripe grapefruit, orange, white peach, and quince. This finishes bittersweetly, dominated by citrus and nut oils, with its umami- scallop-side serving for welcome salivation, but with less primary juiciness and consequent brightness than its cellar mates of the vintage and without the delightful sense of surprising levity that accrued to the corresponding Edmond.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Jun 2012)
