“Pierre à Feu is sourced from Vincent's thirty year-old Sauvignon Blanc vines that are planted on the silex (flint and clay) soils that extend east from the Cher River. When I asked why he named the wine Pierre à Feu (French for "flint", or literally, "firestone"), Vincent smiled, "The name 'Silex' was already taken," [by Didier Dagueneau's estate, who produces a similar cuvée of Sauvignon grown on flint and clay; however, the cost of one bottle of Domaine Didier Dagueneau "Silex" is about the same as a six-pack of Domaine Ricard Pierre à Feu.]
In the glass, this shimmering pale yellow-gold Sauvignon Blanc reveals enticing aromas of white grapefruit, bergamot, lemon verbena, and gun smoke, along with apricot, green mango, sage and orange oil, as the nose evolves over time. On the palate, the wine is silky, polished, precise and persistent, with a fine core of yellow-green citrus and exotic fruit flavors that echo the nose, all seasoned with its namesake flinty minerality throughout a seemingly endless finish.” — Moore Brothers — 4 years ago
Not for everyone, has a Big nose and nice taste, though I prefer it with cheese.

Producer over vintage everytime. Diffcult year but given the mildew and heat they’ve managed to make this textural, clean, and wholesome white that speaks to the tradition so well. Perhaps lacking some depth of the top vintages of CNDP white, this is perfect for the table, working wonders with tomato and fennel pasta to roasted trout with fall vegetables. Orchard fruits, ripe citrus, Pernod, nuts, white and yellow flowers, almond cream, herbs, pebbles, parsnip and white pepper. Lovely viscosity and phenolic grip here. — 4 years ago

Citrus with little acidity. Would probably like it more if the label wasn’t in Comic Sans. — 2 months ago
