Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, Loire Valley. This white wine comes from Sauvignon Blanc vines that are more than 50 years of age, planted in flint soil “Silex”
Taste Profile: Pale gold in color, it has an aromatic nose of white flowers and honey. On the palate, it is silky, round and delicate, with a pleasing richness and complexity on the back palate. It has a good balance between alcohol and acidity levels in the mouth, marked with mellow notes of wood (acacia, well-ripened exotic fruits, with minerals in the background). Balance and refinement are the underpinnings of the Cuvée Silex
Winemaking Process: After the grapes reach their peak maturity in October, they are picked by hand and then sorted into boxes. The grapes are put in whole bunches into the hydraulic press (Coquard) where the pressing is done in a gentle and slow manner in order to obtain a clear juice of the highest quality. This juice is then put into barrels of 2000 litres. It remains between 8 and 12 months, during which it will undergo fermentation and a period of resting on lees
