Philippe Girard Sancerre 'Cuvee Silex'

Domaine Philippe Girard is located in Verdigny, one of the most renowned villages of the Sancerre AOC. Since the time of the French Revolution in 1789, wine has been produced on the estate. Today's generation, owns 16 acres of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir planted on Silex soils.

Cuvee Silex is the estate's top white wine, and it pays tribute to the flinty, rocky soils of Sancerre. It is these soils that give Sancerre its wonderful minerality, and this one also shows bright notes of green pear, green apple, ripe citrus, and gooseberry. Delicious!
