I say this only to warn you that this one will not last long. The 2018 vintage in Sancerre was monumental. Winemakers were the first to sing its praises. Alphone Mellot declared “This is a mythical vintage – 1947 but with quantity!” Jolivet agreed, chiming in that, “The 2018 vintage is one of the most exceptional vintages that we’ve seen in the past 50 years.” I’ll ‘help out’ with any Sancerre, especially abandoned 2018 Sancerre I assumed was long gone.
Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux traces its roots back to 1550, but with 14th generation winemaker Laurent now at the helm, they have not been sitting on their laurels. The last 20 years have been spent transforming the historic estate to best capture the individual essence of each of their distinct 70 micro-plots.
The ‘Beauroy’ is selected from those parcels that cut right through the center of the estate creating a dynamic and beautifully round expression of Sauvignon as you find on the best clay/limestone type soils near the town of Verdigny. Bright citrus, phenomenal balance, the 2018 Reverdy-Ducroux has a super long, harmonious finish.

This is truly of Sancerre’s greatest wines. It’s an incredible effort in a fantastic vintage for Sancerre in general, but even more so for my friend Dominique Roger. His single parcel ‘La Jouline’ is considered the Grand Cru vineyard of Bue. It’s crafted from 60-year old vines and given an extra year in bottle, adding incredible layers and complexity in the process. Tiny yields followed by partial barrel fermentation creates a wine with complex aromatics, explosive flavors, and a mineral-laced finish that makes it both incredible at the table with rich cuisine or a great candidate for short term aging.

The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
