"The 2011 Sancerre from Yves et Pierre Martin is a lovely wine, offering up a deep andcomplex nose of lime zest, green apple, gooseberry, hard limestone, cut grass, citrus peel and abit of white pepper in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and fairlycrisp, with a fine core of fruit, a very primary personality at the moment and very good lengthand grip on the bright, but not particularly snappy finish. This is a beautifully made wine, but inthe context of so many nervy 2010 Sancerres, this comes across as just a touch gentle instructural terms, despite its impressive depth and nascent complexity."

"Bony at first, with talcum powder and chive notes up front, turning richer as it moves along, letting lime zest and salted butter notes fill in, with a long, flinty finish. Drink now through 2013."
