2004 Patient Cottat Sancerre VV

[hotwine]

Classic Sancerre.... very pale gold in the glass, with a slight greenish tinge; melons and gooseberries on the palate, all very austere. No greassiness or cat's pee to this dude. Wish I could make an SB like this! Modest finish, but I don't look for a bellringer ending on such a wine. 12.5% alc/vol and about $14 at Costco. With grilled Tilapia and avocado tostados. Wonderful.

Sounds like great wine and great food.

We're having a heat wave and I intened to open some Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and/or Marlborough over the next three weeks.
