2007 Nuance, Sancerre, Vincent Pinard
Opened last night, this initally had quite a vegetal character with some asparagus notes. However, with a little bit of aeration this declined, although it did not disappear entirely. There is attractive ripe, zingy fruit here. All very typical of the 2007 vintage with quite marked but clear precise acidity in the finish. Lovely classic Sancerre!
