(2020) “While this was a warm season leading to richness in many wines from the region, the Silex 2020 shows ripe fruit, but there’s no sense of being overblown.

Still very primary and super intense with pastry notes, butter, apple, almond cream, lavender, honey, grapefruit, lemon, lime, white peach and cinnamon. Fantastic intensity with great vibrancy, the acidity so lively […]
Add to cart Producer: MeadowbankPaul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]
