Rating: 3.0/5
Vincent Doucet’s Sancerre displays a pale yellow colour, showing good clarity. The nose is intense with grassy and lemon aromas. On the palate, the fine-grained texture complements high acidity, while the body remains medium-bodied with a dry finish. Tannins are low, a characteristic of Sancerre. Lemon flavours are prominent, with a medium finish that lingers slightly.
