But think again and you realise a sense of creaminess, a wisp white apricot, a very fine hint of toast and white pepper, it’s all so perfectly integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palate is of equal complexity to the nose. Intense, ripe red grapefruit and citrus zest to start, progressing to a subtle honeyed creaminess, a hint of orchard fruit, a garnish of peppery spice. The finish holds long on the palate, unfurling further notes of white apricot and citrus zip. It really is a perfectly balanced symphony of texture, richness, and pure fruit freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reaction from my colleague when I encouraged him to taste this was priceless. It spawned conversation about the sheer skill and confidence required to take such intense, old vine sauvignon, and impart such texture and depth through very careful lees ageing and acacia barrel use, whilst always retaining the purity and clarity that sauvignon exudes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe chatted at length of how Nicolas Millet has seemingly produced a wine that combines Chablis, Chassagne and Sancerre, but putting pen to paper and explaining in has been a real challenge. I’m sorry but I simply can’t do it justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe alongside softer cheeses such as Chaource or Brie, or treat yourself to pan-fried scallops where this will be simply stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Russell-Grant | Mr.Wheeler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42985564799061,"sku":"cs_65122","price":2.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/c9201rs1si1i_2f4c3f89-1f46-4e08-8993-f99ee15dd01f.jpg?v=1789251637","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/2022sancerre-levallon-nicolasmillet-l5ty9u","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
