Sancerre BLANC Thauvenay 2022, 75cl.
~ 89/100,Vinous, Rebecca Gibb, June 2023 : « The 2022 Thauvenay has a lively spritz on entry and skips its way through the mouth. It is clean, crisp and crunchy with fresh pear, apple and citrus flavors on the medium lenght, lightly chalk finish.»
Harvested on hard limestone and flint, this wine is to drink young. Its vivacity and freshness combined with its great minerality perfectly matches seafood platters and shellfish. Excellent as an aperitif, it could also go along with a goat cheese, snack, duck rilllettes or rabbit terrine. With asparagus and raw fish, cooked in a court-bouillon or marinated, it will be a perfect match as well.

So drinkable. Not dry or too sweet.
Vivino – robij – 541 ratings – Rated on 15th August 2020 : 4,5/5
This is a very good wine! Chalk, flint, apple skin, wet earth and honey. A good balance of crisp acid and fresh white fruit. Maybe a year or two in the bottle would add richness but I like it fine now. Serve chilled. The flavors get richer as it warms in the glass.

Licht groenachtige kleur, in de de neus aards en citrus. Heerlijke Sancerre met een fantastische citrussmaak en tonen van groene appel. Perfect bij een fruit de mer!
Vivino – Bazza – 117 ratings – Rated on 24th Dec 2020 : 4,0/5
Citrus & minerality & what seems to me to be chamomile on the nose. Lemon and lime on the palate with flint/stone. Nice, light and refreshing on the mouth with close to a medium+ acidity and a medium finish. Sancerre always reminds me of Paris where I had my first taste of it. 24/12/20 Christmas Eve!!
Vivino – Robert O’Farrell – 66 ratings – Rated on 20th August 2020 : 4,0/5

Un nouveau millésime testé et je confirme la bonne impression. Un peu brouillon à l’ouverture mais ensuite un beau nez pénétrant sur le citron, la rose et l’anis. En bouche puissance, salinité, belle longueur, généreux. On a vu des Sancerre plus tendus, mais c’est très gourmand.

Very good nose on this one.
At ease comfortably displaying grassy tones, herbaceous impressions, pirizines liek paprika and buxus and all with great depth.
Med+ acidity, tingling in the tongue. Fresh balanced flavors with a pinch of iodine. Textbook young quality Sancerre. Very good. 16 pts @ Henri Bloem.

Buonissimo Sancerre. Un sauvignon blanc elegante e delicato. Da bere lentamente e non troppo freddo per dare la possibilità al vino di esprimersi. È talmente buono che uno lo berrebbe tutto di fila. Qualità alta, un vino sano.

Vivino – Jacqueline Vidalo – 1577 ratings – Rated on Aug 6th 2017 : 4,0/5
‘And I’d give up forever to touch you’…
The music is an eclectic mix of 80’s dance party & 90’s prom ballads.
The liquid reflects the honeyed glow of candle light. Lemon, grapefruit, and wet limestone float about. Crispy waves of acid splash over jagged minerals. The finish lingers…the bright acidity begins fades into the darkness. The melancholy melody floats heavy in the air…broken only by flashing smiles and laughing faces.
‘When everything’s meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am…’

This is very nice young Sancerre I had with my friends.
Domaine MASSON-BLONDELET was established in 1975. They have focused on PN and Sauvignon, and all their vines are cultivated without weed killer, no fertilizer, no insecticide.
grape : 100% Sauvignon
Nose : Slightly grassy nice flesh fruit aroma. Lemon, grapefruit, tart apple and touch of herb on the nose.
Mouth : Well-balanced with bright acidity. Very nice vivacity, freshness and minerality with flavors of lemony citrus fruits and green apple on the palate

Lemon green colour, light intensity. Strong and steely vegetal greens greet the nose. Asparagus, celery, grapefruit, lime, melon and pear. Off dry, high acidity, medium high alcohol, chalky, minerals, grapefruit, lime and lemon zest on the palate. Medium finish.
Vivino – Michael Jones – 349 ratings – Rated on Jul 4th 2017 : 4,0/5
Straw lemon shades, initial cool fruity melon and green apple aroma… was doubtful – asparagus but happily it’s there on the nose at the end. Light bodied, surprised by light acidity (edit apparently Sancerre 2015 vintage experiencing low acidity) can feel the alcohol, enjoyable medium length with a mild lemon citrus and pomelo finish. I like this.

Vivino – Ricardo Yugulis – 591 valoraciones – Fecha de valoración Dec 23rd 2016 : 4,5/5
Color brillante y con una coloración amarilla pálida, una vez que aireamos el vino aparecen aromas intensos de hierba fresca, hinojo, con fruta cítrica ( limón, lima ) y un toque de piña. Puede que haya gente que note aromas florales, en mí caso no los he percibido. En boca es un vino fresco, acido con un buen equilibrio, muy cítrico y buena persistencia.

Blind tasting. Nice, fine and little bit shy expression of sauvignon, exotic, lilly of the valley, mineral. A bit short. But nice for appetising.
Cellar Tracker – 5/13/2016 – pkbowen Likes this wine: 90 Points
PnP at cellar temperature. Assertive aromas of wet slate, apple orchard, and lemon/lemon zest rise from the glass. On the palate at cool temperatures, the wine conveys a convincing sense of place with a tart, green apple- and lemon-driven attack and mineral-filled midpalate. As it warms, the nose develops pyrazine/jalapeno-like aromas, and the midpalate and finish take on ripe tangerine or clementine fruit/zest qualities. All the way through, the mouthfeel is wonderfully plush, but balanced by fresh, juicy acid.
This is a great example of Sancerre! While it lacks complexity to some degree, it is far from a “simple” wine. We will rate it “very good-to-excellent,” 90/100.
