Taste test: Sancerre

We quaff (and rate) four of the finest Sancerre around. But which vintage prevailed?

OUR VERDICT

LE CLOCHER D’AMÉLIE 2016

Pleasantly complex with refreshing hints of gooseberry and peach, it is just the ticket on a balmy summer’s day. £17.99

LES MARENNES 2016

Fruity on the attack and delightfully moreish, it is simply a cut above the rest. £16.99

COMTE DE LA PERRIÈRE SILEX 2015

A symphony of mineral notes and grassy aromas, it is an elegant palate cleanser. £20.99

HUBERT BROCHARD 2016

Clean, if a little too subtle, it lacks the balance and zing of other vintages. £16.79
