SANCERRE

93 Roger et Didier Raimbault 2016 Cuvée Côteline (Sancerre). From an old southeast-facing vineyard, this wine is rich and full. With three years in bottle, the wine has matured while still retaining ripe green fruits. It can be drunk now, but can age further and be at its peak from 2021. Serge Doré Selections. Editors’ Choice. —R.V.
