Sancerre lies on the left bank of the upper Loire, around the dramatic hilltop town of the same name. Sancerre has been the model of Sauvignon Blanc producers around the world, producing elegant racy aromatic wines. It also produces light gorgeous reds and roses from Pinot Noir.
Tasting notes: This cuvée is pure flint (silex) as the name suggests, sourced from a parcel near Thauvenay. Very evocative on the nose, certainly very different to the first two wines. Lots more fruit here, still a fine citrus character but much more overtly expressed. The palate continues in the same vein, round and almost fat with pleasure, but with a good stony texture beneath, and also super acidity. This is a finely styled wine, full of substance, extract and grip. It is delicious. 18+/20 (The Wine Doctor)

Tasting notes: A beautifully delicate rosé made totally from Pinot Noir. The average age of the vines is 25 years resulting in an enticing mineral complexity. This is light, fresh and truely moreish stuff!
