Les Fondettes Sancerre 2006

We really enjoyed this 2006 Les Fondettes Sancerre. We found melon, apricot and floral notes on the nose, and the flavour reflected that. Lots of tart green apple as well and citrus, but more lemon than grapefruit. On the lingering finish, a bit of grassiness comes through. Recommended!

(My apology for the dreadful label photograph! Darn cellphone camera...)

Sancerre Les Fondettes 2004

Minerally and lemony on the nose, this $28 bottle of Les Fondettes Sancerre was a real palate-cleanser, very dry and acidic and grapefruity, with a lingering finish. "It's almost bitter," said Ed. "Not to me," said Margaret Anne. Gran's opinion? "So-so."

We rated it 16.5/20 using the UC Davis system.
