From 40- to 53-year-old vines in a southeast-facing vineyard at 260 meters in altitude where the vines root in pretty shallow Kimmeridgian soils (only 80 centimeters of topsoil), the 2019 Sancerre Les Denisottes opens deep, fresh and flinty on the coolish, dense and highly expressive nose that is fascinatingly complex and stony while the fruit remains in the background. Full-bodied, intense and tightly structured on the palate, this is a long, tight and very complex Sancerre with power, juice, extract, grip and a stimulatingly fine and salty finish. This is a deep, wide and generous as well as sustainable Sancerre of great class and youth. Highly promising. Take a Burgundy glass for this Denisottes that even reveals some gin and cucumber aromatics. 94 points
