Rich on the palate, enormous substance, grapefruit; with grilled fish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc, 100% Sancerre: "Les Silex" from Domaine Saint-Pierre, a worthy representative of its AOC. Wonderfully fruity with notes of ripe yellow fruits as well as a grapefruit that brings a great freshness. Rich, lots of substance, fresh and mineral on the finish. Very tempting, isn't it?
Winemaker and vineyard: This Sancerre vineyard is owned by the Prieur family. Pierre Prieur grows Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir on 17 ha. The wines are typical of Sancerre: diverse and with a high terroir expression, as the vineyards are situated on all three different typical subsoils, on "Terres Blanches" (clay-limestone mixture), "Caillottes" (limestone) and "Silex" (flint).
Tasting: The nose starts with aromas of ripe yellow fruits, light grapefruit notes add some freshness. In the mouth very rich with a lot of matter, fresh and nicely mineral in the finish.
Service: Sancerre is the traditional companion of fish and seafood, sheep and goat cheeses, traditional fish dishes such as "quenelles" or "tourte aux poissons".
