Roger et Didier Raimbault – Côteline 2013 – Sancerre

The nose is fresh, fruity, racy and offers a slight richness (in the background) as well as a slight elegance. It reveals notes of lemon and flowers associated with slight notes of green apple, green lemon as well as a very discreet hint of minerality/flint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, elegant and offers a slight acid frame, a beautiful suavity, a beautiful juiciness of the fruit, a beautiful fat, finesse as well as a nice definition. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of ripe/juicy lemon and ripe/juicy mandarin associated with slight hnits of juicy apple, ripe/juicy pineapple as well as a discreet hint of apricot, exotic fruits and racy minerality. Beautiful persistence. There is a slight hint of green lemon zests on the persistence.
