This Sancerre wants your attention. Rich orchard fruit wraps itself with quince, red apple and baking-spice-dusted roasted pear. Steely in texture with elegant, subtle flavors, the wine has a bright acidity that refreshes the finish. Drink now through 2034.

Formerly known as La Bourgeoise, the ES-56 may be ripe but remains focused and light-bodied. Thanks to the flint-rich soils in this part of Sancerre, the wine offers excellent tension and a spicy drive on the finish. While the fruit is ripe, it's savory and restrained, having been partially fermented in oak (25%) before resting in the cellar for close to two years before release. It's persistent and lithe on the finish.
