This gorgeously pure and bright Sauvignon Blanc shows a brilliant bouquet of lemon zest, nectarine, jasmine tea, and quince. The high percentage of silex in the terroir shows through with a distinct flinty note that adds complexity. The palate has plenty of verve, with notes of ginger, anjou pear, and wet stone. A clear vein of minerality keeps everything in balance.

The 2022 Silice has a little flesh around its tight core. There's no doubting the vineyard's flinty nature with its arrow-like precision and firm texture. Rather than fragrant, it is stony and compact, offering subtle aromatics reminiscent of nectarine and pineapple.
