Gerard Fiou Sancerre Terroir Silex 2023

Gerard Fiou Sancerre Terroir Silex 2023

• Region: Loire Valley
• Sub-Region: Sancerre
• Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc

Vineyard Sourced from a unique east-facing slope where the soil is dominated by "Silex" (flint). This soil type is rare in Sancerre and is prized for its ability to store heat and impart a specific, piercing mineral intensity and gunflint aroma to the Sauvignon Blanc grapes.

Wine A powerful and high-toned Sancerre that is defined by its laser-like precision. It delivers intense aromas of citrus zest, white peach, and smoke. The palate is structural and concentrated, featuring a searing mineral drive and a long, saline, and incredibly focused finish.
