Roger & Didier Raimbault 2016 – Sancerre

The nose is aromatic, relatively intense and offers a slight concentration. It reveals notes of flowers (violet, lily) and blackberry associated with touches of strawberry, bay, Sichuan pepper as well as slight touches of toasted oak/cardamom. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-built, suave and offers a beautiful tension, suavity, a nice guideline/definition, a slight acid frame as well as a small delicacy. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of dried raspberry, wild strawberry and small notes of blackberry/blueberry associated with touches of flowers (cornflower, lily) as well as hints of licorice, Ceylan tea and a subtle touch of caramelized oak. Tannins are well-built. Good length and gourmand/suave persistence.
