Terroir de Silex. Wonderful depth of flavour, great finesse, crystalline purity, very precise, perfectly at one with itself, almost painfully intense smoky minerality, a fresh as a daisy at 10 years old, wonderfully floral, delicious ripe fruit, very energetic, top-notch Sancerre, perfect typicity; great length. On a par with the very best from Cotat or Dagueneau. An essence of its terroir, will last a very long time.
Wonderfully honeyed aroma, spicy botrytis, chamomile and linen; off-dry on the palate, ripe but dry, refreshing acidity, nice bitters; good length, attractive.
