The 2018 Sancerre Comtesse is the most aromatic of the 2018s I tasted. The bouquet is redolent with Sauvignon Blanc white flower signatures. There is plenty of citrus, white orchard fruit, mint and tomato leaf, and yet the wine is quite soft, with no angular edges, and exceptional balance.In BondSG$672.00 -
