Comte Lafond Sancerre 2002

Served With: Leek & Shiitake Mushroom Croquettes

Five Things: honey, lemon curd, cypress, soft tannins, white stones

COO: Loire Valley, France

Notes: To be honest, I wasn't sure this 2002 Sancerre that was hiding in the back of the cellar was still going to be "all there." In a nutshell -- it was, and so much more... A well-balanced wine that had the right amount of acidity and finesse to cut through the fried croquettes with the lemon flavor profile complimenting the leeks & mushrooms. I really wish I had another bottle...
