Very crisp, grapefruit and green herbs, here is a wine that touches good acidity, but then misses with its oily texture and white candy flavor. The finish is fresh.

A rich, round style, full, with white fruit flavors along with a central herbal streak. It has weight and some deliciously herbaceous fruits, structured to finish.

Its citrus and melon aromas unfortunately also take on the added and unwanted scent of cleaning solution. The mouth is tart and lean, with lots of lemon. It finishes on the sour side. Properly chilled and with the right food, however, it could be refreshing.

Full, ripe wine, lightly smoky in character. There are flavors of mandarin orange and lime enveloped within a mineral structure.

Fresh and functional as an apéritif white, and while it may not be as crisp and steely as some Muscadets, it holds its own. Plenty of lime and melon on the rather broad palate, and not overly acidic. It even has some soft, sweet Sauvignon Blanc character to it. Simple, but with its slate-and-citrus finish, it works.

A simple wine, with scents of peach and cantaloupe and sweet fruity flavors that seem slightly cloying on the finish.

Soft, very light and fresh, with flavors of wild strawberries. Good acidity, with sweetness coming through to dominate the pleasant freshness.

Round, white pear flavors, with some tannic texture, this is a simple, fresh, crisp Sancerre, favoring pink grapefruit and sage, and touched by a lightly sweet edge.

A taut, mineral style, maybe missing fruit, but certainly evoking the stony soil of the vineyard. Its very tight crispness is emphasized by dryness and by the tartness of lemon juice.

A sweetened wine which has some apple and cream flavors, with a hint of honeyed texture. But the balance is not right, with acidity and sweetness clashing around the fruit. The aftertaste continues this battle.
