2002 Sancerre, Jean-Max Roger, Loire Valley, France

2002 Sancerre, Jean-Max Roger
Appearance: light green, slight spritz.

Nose: crisp gooseberry, lemon and a little lime (but not tropical smelling by any means). Slight mineral nose.

Palate: decent fruit, high acidity, medium alcohol. Good balance between fruit and acidity here. Pretty long too.

Conclusion: good Sancerre from a good producer. But we don’t rate this wine quite as highly as Jean-Paul Balland’s Sancerre.

Rating: 17/20
