Region:Loire - Sancerre
We love this Domaine, they really are at the top of their game. Normally Michel and Philippe would blend Silex into Sauvignon Blanc from other terroirs in Sancerre, but Philippe believed this Cuvée had such a dazzling purity and finesse that he decided to bottle it solely as Silex. Silex is lively and expressive with pronounced minerality and a long, long finish. Fantastique!

With our vineyards stretching across some of the finest soils in the entire Loire Valley making good wine would come easily to us. But we are not here to make good wine, we are here to make great wine! It is that which leads us to reduce our crop to the barest minimum, it is that which keeps us harvesting by hand and it is that which makes us use only expensive temperature controlled steel fermentation vats. Great wine is always a union of man and nature and that is what we try to achieve.
If ever there was a wine that tasted of the soil in which it was grown, this is it! Philippe Girard's Silex Sancerre opens with a sensational, energetic, almost crackly nose of gunsmoke, orange oil and earthy stoney notes. The full palate is lively, expressive with pronounced minerality and a long, long finish.
