About the Wine: 

"Simon Chotard from Sancerre has his own ideas about producing white wine that can rival the best from the other top appellations of France. His process is simple: take older-vine Sauvignon Blanc planted on a superb slope of chalky limestone, crop it at a reasonably low level, age it in acacia demi-muids, and— voilà—a mind-bending effort that redefines what this standard-bearer appellation for French white wine is capable of. Simply gorgeous, the Cris is sublimely perfumed, generous on the palate, and long and saline on the elegant finish." — Dixon Brooke
