Very pungent sauvignon nose. Very strong cat pee. Astringent and dirty taste. It’s just too much.

Sancerre ‘Les Baudrières’ 2011, Dominique Baud
12.50%
Screwcap
Restrained, elder twig, aroma. Long and intense flavour. Not an ounce of fruitiness in there. Hard work for the Marlborough fans, but great for the purists.

Pouilly-Fumé ‘Les Cascadelles’ 2011, Caves de Pouilly-sur-Loire
12.50%
Screwcap
Peapod aroma. Tangy, intense and with some juicy and bright fruit. An easier wine than the Baudrieres Sancerre. Peapod and grapefruit aftertaste.

Sancerre Vieilles Vignes 2011, Domaine Paul Cherrier et Fils
£12.99
13% Cork
Not a great deal on the nose – new, colder bottles. Tart, bright and clean with a long palate. Very good and good value.
