Silex, 2019
Silex has a huge complexity of fruit that mingles with notes of crushed flint and transcends anything appellation or varietal – this is so clearly a very grand terroir. Verdant and peachy initially, then with a note of citrus cream on the palate, alongside fresh verbena and vanilla pod and bitter orange on sleek black flint. Layers after layer of flavour here, shimmering in the light and drawing you in to a core of firm, pungent minerality. Superb plus.
critic reviews
The 2019 Pouilly Fumé Silex shows an initial tenderness, sitting quietly and not shouting that it's made it into your glass. This is a wine that has its act together, feeling integrated and balanced with plentiful concentration and a savory long finish. A delicate dill note, which is a characteristic of oaked Sauvignon peeks out amid the hush.
