Paul Prieur et Fils Sancerre Monts Damnes 2021 (750ML)

92-93 VM

The 2021 Monts Damnés was tasted as a barrel sample, staying in wood until just before the next harvest and then spending around six months in tank before bottling. It has plentiful concentration perhaps due to the low yields – there was less than half of the usual production due to frost on this 1.5ha section of Monts Damnés. It starts off with a full bodied attack before narrowing and tightening its shape as it moves across the mouth, leaving a precise and long finish. The cooler season has imbued a freshness to the aromatic profile reminiscent of violets, citrus and just ripe pineapples. -- Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous Media
