Started with Jacky Blot's Triple Zéro, Montlouis Pétillant from the latest batch, released just before Christmas. Enjoyable fizz but ideally needs another three to six months in bottle to show as well as previous editions of Triple Zéro.
Then on to the 2005 Exception Sancerre Rouge, Pascal Jolivet with an attractively seductive Pinot Noir nose, quite silky, mid-weight, some finesse and well balanced. It coped surprisingly well with a take-away curry. From 50 year old vines planted on argile-calcaire (clay-limestone). The grapes were picked by hand and yield was 40 hl/ha. The wine was aged for 12 months in barriques.
