It is without a doubt the most sought-after and requested vintage of the estate.
Silex is the marriage of old vines aged 25 to 60 years giving Sauvignon Blancs designed for aging.
Here, the harvests in boxes are carried out in a very short time, at optimal maturity, and with a lot of staff.
The use of yeasts selected in their vineyard, tight settling and long aging on lees without racking remain the basis of an absolute quest for the crystalline expression of Sauvignon Blanc – enhanced by precise aging in wood, in barrels. of volume greater than barrels, "cigars" (320 l) or "tons" (600 l).
Tasting:
A seductive and complex nose, with aromas of ripe yellow apple, pear, apricot and orange.
On the palate, lovely freshness, a strong mineral character and lovely aromatic persistence.
