The Sauvignon de Touraine Silex 2022 stands out for its strong character and great freshness. Its flint soil plays a key role in storing heat throughout the spring, promoting slow and even ripening of the grapes. This specific terroir gives the wine a marked mineral tension, enhanced by lively aromas of citrus, white fruits, and flowers. On the palate, the balance is perfect between beautiful acidity and an elegant texture, offering a long, saline finish. A characterful, mineral, and vibrant white wine, one of the winery’s favorites.
