2020  Sancerre

Domaine Paul Thomas has the largest vineyard on the steeply sloping hill of Chavignol, in Les Mont Damnés, one of the finest areas for the production of top class Sauvignon Blanc. The Domaine is under the watchful eye of Raphael Thomas, who is producing some of the most exciting wines in Sancerre. ---- "From the steep slopes of Mont Damnés, planted on kimmeridgian soils, the 2020 Sancerre La Côte des Monts Damnés has a sense of roundness and richness through the mid palate, without losing its elderflower and nettle-like twang. There's plentiful concentration here and a chalky finish." - Vinous

2019  

"Drinking Window: 2028 - 2040 Le Château is a small plot of land enclosed in the Chêne Marchand terroir, and is situated on the top of the hill, planted on Kimmeridgian limestone. The first vintage of this wine was 2014. The bouquet on this 2019 vintage is tightly introverted, but its incredible tension and depth point to a magnificent wine. Mineral-driven aromas with spices, both white and spring flowers, orange blossom and lemon oil aromas. Long and penetrating, this wine has a deep and concentrated core, striking levels of chalky dry extract and a long, penetrating finish. Still an infant, it will be one of my favourites after 10-20 years in the cellar." - 97pts Decanter
