ROBERT PARKER SCORE 89 POINTS Wine Advocate 190 Aug 2010 by David Schildknecht : The Reverdy 2009 Sancerre Cuvee Les Coutes smells pungently of lime, over-ripe white peach, apple, and sage. Almost thickly- and palpably extract-rich, with the body of its over 14% alcohol but no heat, its sappy, zesty, chewy impression of fresh fruits supplies a sense of invigoration and a certain sizzle and bite that persist in the finish, along with distinct chalkiness. I would plan to enjoy this over the next couple of years.

Three years after the accidental death of his brother Nicolas, Pascal Reverdy - along with his wife and sister-in-law - continues to uphold this family's deservedly high reputation.
