2001 Michel Redde Sancerre Les Tuilieres

[Innkeeper]

'02 Domaine Girard, La Garenne, Sancerre ($16.99 Chambers Street). Alcohol level 13%. The '03 is available from them at $17.99. Bought this two years ago, and hoped that it would be ready today. We matched it with the same Scallops Morney, and all went spledidly together.

It probably should have been held for another year as it seemed halfway up from the dumb stage. It was still very nice but the acid was still somewhat dominent. I think it would have been calmed down in another year. Hurt true love's throat going down (the kiss of death). She did have two glasses though.

It showed great fruit in transition. Very crisp and quite complex across the palate, and the finish did linger.

I realize that this is a mixed review, but on balance I liked it, and it went well with dinner.
