WTN: Sancerre and Savigny

by Dale Williams » Sun May 10, 2009 1:11 pm

Tuesday Betsy was rehearsing in NYC, but prepped dinner so I could finish as she came home. With scallops and asparagus in a lemony sauce, the 2007 Andre Vatan "Les Charmes" Sancerre. Classic if not superb Sancerre, good citrusy fruit with some chalky mineral notes. Zippy acids stand up to the lemon sauce. B

Wednesday Betsy made pork chops and an eggplant salad. Opened a half bottle of the 2006 Simon Bize “les Bourgeots”Savigny-les-Beaune (this is a village Savigny, not a 1er). Lovely cherry and red plum fruit, spicy, some tannins. Lively and bright. Good to start with, better with air. B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

I like Bize, but don't see the wines around anymore. Where did you pick up the 375s?

I bought a few Bize 2006 SLB Vergelesses (750s) from Vins Rare in California. The one bottle I opened was quite nice.
