1.3 ha Single Vineyard on Sancerre Hilltop with a Flint-stone & clay terroir – Silex<\/p>\n
Complex nose of white peach and guava accompanied by an assertive minerality.\u00a0A wine that’s both fat and chiseled, with an imposing precision. Flinty minerality leads the way, with harmonious fruitiness.\u00a0A hint of salinity subtly enhances the intense, precise finish.<\/p>\n
“A delicious, juicy and balanced Sancerre with aromas of apples, warm herbs, raw almonds and some flowers. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Well rounded, velvety and vivid. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, 92 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThis is a solid Sancerre. Pale lemon in color, the floral-forward wine is a glass full of sliced red apple dusted with honeysuckle blossom. It displays concentration on the palate along with a lingering finish that flirts with bread dough. Pair with garlic naan, spring rolls or roasted cod.
