93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2019 Sancerre 'les Comtesses' from Domaine Paul Thomas is barrel-fermented and aged in older oak casks from Raphaël Thomas, Paul’s son and the current proprietor of the family estate. The wine offers up an outstanding young nose, jumping from the glass in a mix of gooseberry, green apple, lime peel, complex, chalky minerality, newly-mown grass, just a faint whisper of vanillin oak and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, focused and full-bodied, with an excellent core of fruit, fine soil signature, zesty acids and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. This is outstanding Sancerre. 2021-2030. (May/Jun 2021)"
Importer notes: "Notes of jasmine and almond shine through a mineral driven, slightly creamy texture, with bright undertones of green apple and grapefruit. Perfect as an aperitif and also ideal for fresh oysters, grilled seafood, lemon chicken, or a simple plate of fresh goat cheese and fruit. Aged on the lees until the June following harvest for a richer, more powerful profile."
