Vineyard of 18 ha. Flint-stone & clay terroir – Silex<\/p>\n
A pale gold color with green glints. Intense and complex nose where, among yellow fruits and citrus notes, a superb minerality is expressed. A delicate palate where pear and yellow peach bring their aromatic and juicy side. An elegant salinity extends the mouth in a beautiful balance.<\/p>\n
“A juicy, seductive and succulent Sancerre with spiced pears, wild herbs and hints of lemons and stones on the nose. It\u2019s medium-bodied with bright acidity. There is volume on the palate, with a fresh, vertical core and a mineral edge. Lively and driven, with a persistent finish. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, 93 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape<\/strong>: 100% Sauvignon Blanc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18640,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
