J. de Villebois Sancerre Blanc AOP Cuvée 'Silex' 2020, 0,75 L

Sancerre's silex soils, which account for just 20% of the region's vineyards, produce wines that are both rare and highly coveted for their unique and complex flavours.

Among the top producers in Sancerre, J. de Villebois stands out with this exceptional offering.

Characteristic of silex, the nose reveals a pronounced mineral character that defines the wine. Juicy dark fruit notes of redcurrant and gooseberry mingle with hints of citrus, benefiting from aeration to fully blossom. On the palate, the wine impresses with its vibrant juiciness and ample mouthfeel. Flavours of orange and citrus burst forth, complemented by a refreshing acidity that is precise and lean. It's an invigorating and captivating wine, combining ripe fruit with lively freshness, culminating in a long, satisfying finish—exactly what one expects from a top-tier Sancerre.
