Wine Spectator 92 Points
A distinctive Sancerre, with fleshy persimmon, yellow plum and verbena notes. Offers plenty of richness buoyed by a salty mineral layer, while dried herb details and tangy acidity wash through. A waft of smoke hangs over the long finish, marked by a bitter kick of pink grapefruit pith. Drink now through 2032. 4,000 cases made, 700 cases imported.

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.

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.
