    Hi Bob, Thanks for this video😀. I liked that you educated us about the difference between a Sancerre and Poully-Fumé. I didn’t know there was a difference between the two. I also really enjoyed the food pairing at the end, after all this is what for me is all about: being able to find the right wine for the food I'm eating 😊💖

    Bob, Sancerre has been a stable in the cellar for me. It has the easy pairing of Sauvignon blanc but as you state, that sense of place like how Chablis is distinct in Chardonnay. I have tried a red Sancerre. I was a bit confused when I saw it as I thought all of Sancerre was Sauvignon blanc. The red Sancerre wine however was unmemorable. I first picked up on Sancerre from a banter scene about Sauvignon blanc in "Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure". Also really liked the food pairing as well, because the food is the force multiplier to the wine and vice versa.

      Hi Ron, Sancerre is a stable for me as well. As for the red, they’ve improved, but there is much room to step it up. I like your Chablis comparison.

    Sancerre was my introduction to French whites, and what an introduction it was. From Muscadet to Roussanne-based Rhone blends, Chablis to Alsace, Bordeaux, and back to Loire for Chenin Blanc. So many that appeal to me.

    • @bobpaulinskimasterofwine
      @bobpaulinskimasterofwine  Год назад +1

      Hi Zachary, I’m not a fan of aging Sancerre. Even the amped up versions don’t age well beyond four years or so. I’m my view, the best case is some Sancerre can maintain themselves for a few years, but I don’t see them improving with age. There could be an exception out there, but I’ve not come across it.

    Very much like Sancerre, but definitely need to level up my knowledge. I had a 2015 Fournier Cuvee Silex ($35??) two years ago and it awakened me to Sancerre. I feel it is one of the best expressions of Sav Blanc for my tastes. Availability has been my challenge. I will scan your recommendations and see if I can find them.

    I've been reading a little about Sancerre recently, so this video is very well-timed! Haven't found much on aged Sancerre, but my local shop has a 2014 Domaine Laporte, Sancerre La Comtesse, and I thought it might be interesting. Do you have any thoughts on that producer or on how Sancerre might taste different with age? Keep up the good work!

      Hi Ian, thanks for the good word. For me, Sancerre should be drank within a few years of the vintage. I’ve had a few older ones, they can sometimes maintain themselves, but I don’t see them improving with age. In general, I’ve not had any 100% Sauv Blanc from anywhere in the world that improves beyond a few years.

      No, you pronounced the first syllable in a way that rhymes with “stan”, which-as someone who has been three three times-hurts my ears. It is a beautiful, mellifluous French name: Sahn-sehr. You obviously are very knowledgeable about wine-more than me, undoubtedly-and correct pronunciation should be part of what you teach your audience.
