Introduction:
The 2022 Le Petit Silex Sancerre is a precise, energetic sauvignon blanc that reflects the purity and mineral drive of the Loire Valley. It's crisp, aromatic, and beautifully structured.

Terrior:
Harvested from hillside vineyards planted in soils of clay, limestone, and silex (French for flint). The flinty nature of the terroir  contributes to its vibrant mineral backbone and tension.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with green reflections; clear and luminous.

Nose:
Bright and expressive, showing classic sauvignon blanc aromas—gooseberries, lime zest, green apples, and fresh-cut grass, with accents of white flowers and wet stone.

Palate:
Light-bodied, taut, and zesty. The palate opens with citrus and orchard fruits, underscored by a pronounced minerality. Five months of lees aging lends subtle roundness and mid-palate texture without dulling the crisp acidity.

Finish:
Dry and refreshing, with lingering notes citrus peel and saline.

Overall Impression:
A quintessential Sancerre—vivid, clean, and refreshingly mineral. Perfect for seafood, chèvre, or light vegetarian fare. A strong value and an excellent ambassador for the region.
