The special bottling "Silex" is limited each year to 400-500 cases. The vines of Michel Thomas cover three types of soil, with Le Roc-Silex being the hardest stone soil of the vineyard, and the sole source for this wine. The siliceous soil imparts pleasant notes of fruit and a dry, smoky, mineral flavor. This wine is bottled using traditional methods without filtration, allowing for an authentic and natural taste.
Intensely aromatic and concentrated Sauvignon, this is a wine of great concentration and excellent balance. Aromas of fresh herbs, with flavors of citrus, ripe gooseberry, apple and a hint of gunflint.
A delicious aperitif and the classic match for goat cheese or asparagus.
"A most pleasant, delicate Sancerre, with restrained but precise aromas of candied lemon, tender, fresh, sapid and very light on the palate. Drink young to enjoy the fruity components."
