La Poussie 2017 Sancerre Blanc

By Patrick de Ladoucette

"...... a wine decidedly about mineral nuances: of stone, salt, diverse alkalis, iodine, and fusil oils. It also displays an admirable sense of buoyancy and transparency that permit those nuances to shimmer in an astringently zesty, fruit-pitted but also highly refreshing medium. Savory, saliva-inducing salinity has the lengthy final word, thereby assuaging the wine’s tendencies toward austerity. Whatever intrigue might surround the care and future of this great site, a positive sense of intrigue accrues to its latest vinous incarnation, justifying at least another half dozen years of attention from anyone with a serious interest in Sancerre and/or partial to wines of understated complexity such as call forth “mineral vocabulary.”" Robert Parker
