Chateau de Sancerre Terre de Silex 2022
Produced in France, Chateau de Sancerre Terre de Silex 2022 originates from the Upper Loire Valley within the prestigious Sancerre appellation. The estate is historically significant, featuring a castle that overlooks the town of Sancerre, and was notably owned for decades by the Marnier-Lapostolle family (of Grand Marnier fame) before being acquired by the Bollinger family. The vineyard operates with a level 4 High Environmental Value (HVE) certification, following a winemaking philosophy that emphasizes sustainable viticulture and a deep respect for the region's diverse flint and limestone terroirs.
Wine Description
This 100% Sauvignon Blanc presents a fresh and mineral expression of the famous 'silex' (flint) soils. On the nose, it reveals zesty aromas of lemons and white fleshed fruit, often accompanied by complex notes of peach pits, almonds, and distinct flinty undertones. The palate is medium to full bodied and textured, characterized by a crisp acidity and a vibrant, mineral core. Stylistically, the wine is praised for its balance and sleek, long finish, with a structure designed for both immediate freshness and moderate longevity. While exhilarating to drink now, it has a recommended drinking window extending through the next few years to preserve its zesty fruit profile.
