2008 Domaine André Neveu Sancerre, Silex

Clear, medium-light, golden yellow. Clean, grass, straw, grapefruit, lime, minerality. Dry, medium to medium-plus body, medium-plus to high acidity, long finish. Lemon, tart citrus fruit, flint, herbal notes. A classic Sancerre—herbal, grassy, zingy, cat pee. Perfect pairing with chèvre. Read more wine reviews on my blog, oe•no•phile.
