Aubuisieres Cuvee de Silex
$26.99
Region:France > Loire
Vintage:2022
The Cuvee de Silex from Domaines des Aubuisieres is made from mostly hand-picked five-plus decade-old Chenin Blanc vines in the Loire Valley.
Soils for 'Cuvée Silex' are exclusively flint stone (silex in French means flint), imparting a smoky, mineral essence to the wine. Look for a bouquet of pear, green apple, quince, and melon that develops notes of mineral and honey. The wine is ever so slightly off-dry, which lends it a juicy freshness. Expressive and exceptionally well balanced on the palate with lots of lemon and a trace of anise. Great with turkey or salmon.
