Rating: 3.0/5
This Sancerre from Vincent Doucet offers a clear pale straw colour with a medium plus intensity nose showing prominent grass and apple aromas. With its high acidity, the palate is fresh and light-bodied, featuring fine-grained texture and a dry finish. Medium plus flavour intensity and high acidity are balanced by low tannins, while the medium alcohol level contributes to its overall profile.
