Pierre Prieur & Fils, Les Silex 2023 – Sancerre

(organic) The wine has a pale lemon yellow color, with silver reflections. The nose expresses racy minerality in notes of limestone and flint, complemented by aromas of fresh citrus fruits (grapefruit, lime, yellow lemon), gourmet notes of white peach and juicy apricot, as well as passion fruit in the background. We also find a touch of acacia and apple blossom on the second nose. The palate has a gourmand, even round attack, with notes of white peach, apricot and juicy green apple. In the mid-palate, we find fresh citrus fruits – lemon, as well as lime and grapefruit, whose bitterness persists on the finish. Floral notes of acacia and dried chamomile also appear on the finish. The finish is lively, mineral (limestone, a touch of flint smoke) and tangy. A chiseled and distinguished wine, with a racy mineral expression.
