“The 2024 Sancerre from Comte Lafond has turned out beautifully in this challenging vintage. The wine comes in at thirteen percent octane and its aromatic constellation delivers scents of lemon, green apple, gooseberry, chalky minerality, newly-mown grass and a topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and soil-driven in personality, with a good core of fruit, a lovely girdle of acidity, fine focus and grip and a long, well balanced and complex finish. This is quite lovely.”
