La Clochette (meaning 'little bell') is the best value Sancerre of 2009 according to Decanter magazine. Dry, crisp and elegant with fresh gooseberry fruit dominating the senses before the unoaked palate, which is rich in fruit flavours, finishes with the right balance of texture and refreshing acidity. A steal at the price.
"Lovely mineral fruit - serious, complex, sleek and long. Powerful and elegant; wears its weight lightly. Terrific." 17.5/20, 'Highly recommended' & 'Best Value Sancerre of 2009') - Decanter, September 2010
