"Silex" Sancerre from a soil rich of silica, 2008 limited production of only 3855 bottles. Refined in wood. The nose is rich, with most of the typical scents expected from a Sancerre. Excellent in the mouth too, not as sweet as expected, with an extraordinary

Пиразиновый нос с тонами спаржи, зелёного гороха, белой смородины. Полное тело, вкус пряно-сливочный, сильно расходящийся с носом: сливочная карамель, ромашка, земляника, дыня. Неплохо, но несколько смущает дисгармония. 15,5/20

'09 vintage. Drunk July '15.

Nose: White flowers
Beautiful Sauternes like colors.
Nice Sav Blanc. Doesn't do great after more than 3 hours.

Will purchase again.
