Lucien Reymond 'Silex' Sancerre 2023
100% Sauvignon Blanc from 40-year-old vines grown on clay, marl, and that iconic flint-rich ground. Grapes are destemmed and pressed by pneumatic press, then the juice is gravity-transferred to tanks for natural yeast fermentation. Aged 12 months on lees in stainless steel, bottled unfined with moderate sulfur.
In the glass it’s beautifully crisp, with bright citrus and stone fruit aromas—think grapefruit, green melon, peach pit, and honeysuckle—lifting a core of sea salt, wet stones, and crushed chalk. The palate is clean yet layered, finishing with that smoky, mineral-rich “silex” flair that makes it unmistakably Sancerre.
This wine is zesty, precise, and built to age (easily 5+ years), but it’s irresistible now. It’s perfect with oysters, grilled fish, goat cheese, or simply by itself when you want pure Loire vibes in a glass.
