Sancerre Blanc – Terres de Silex

An intriguingly understated wine for curious palates… Beneath its mysterious air and reserved exterior, with a little patience this cuvée reveals a truly fascinating character. Subtly refined, with a refreshing verticality and a remarkably lingering mouthfeel, this wine bears all the hallmarks of our Château de Fontaine-Audon vineyard’s finest parcels.

Production

The invigorating character of this elegant white Sancerre wine celebrates the Terres de Silex of our Château de Fontaine-Audon vineyard. The vines take deep root in this thick layer of rock, ripening the Sauvignon Blanc grapes with remarkable swiftness. The acidity is preserved by gravity pressing without destemming, before ageing for over six months in stainless steel vats. Amphora-aged wines add a final touch to this unique wine.

THE VINTAGE 2023

 Truly unique, this surprising Sancerre vintage emerged from a summer of unusually changeable weather.

In the vineyard, our teams faced a series of challenges, including cold spells, heat waves and water shortages, with unwavering determination. The quality and balance of these grapes shine through in an elegant marriage of round fruity flavours and harmonious acidity.
