Vinous Antonio Galloni - 20 Aug 26
The 2007 Sancerre Clos La Néore is soft and delicate in the glass. Green apple, jasmine, white pepper and slate are all finely knit together. The 2007 impresses with its textural finesse and total class. This opens beautifully with a bit of air, gaining weight, textural richness and resonance over time. The 2007 doesn't quite reach the level of the very best Clos La Néores, but it comes very close. In this tasting, it's a total hedonistic pleasure bomb. Two recent bottles have been positively stellar.
