Its been awhile since I was really excited by a wine purchase. Ive had lots of exciting wines but buying has been pushed aside in favor of trying to get a business started.
A nice price on the 2007 Edmund Vatan, Sancerre Clos La Nore got me to take the plunge (how often do you see this stuff discounted?) and I bought a case. It arrived yesterday.
I knew what I would do the box hadnt been in the house ten minutes before a bottle was opened. Ill grab out one or two more bottles to take with me back to FL but the remainder will go into storage here (where I cant get at it until Im back out one way to be disciplined).
The wine is the epitome of grace and subtlety. It is not big, powerful, acidic or explosive it is perfectly balanced, complex, very precise and beautifully scented and flavored.
Several sauvignon blancs I drink and like (especially those from CA) are more voluptuous, more viscous and more intense. But none weave a spell like Vatan.
But then, I remember a time I was quite taken with Bay Watch.
Now, I prefer It Takes a Thief.
Best, Jim
