Fournier Père et Fils 2012 Cuvée Silex (Sancerre)

Country: France / Cuvée Silex
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Loire Valley
Winery: Fournier Père et Fils / Sancerre

The silex, flint soil typical of Sancerre creates this style of crisp, very textured wine, as sharp as the soil itself. The wine is glass brittle, very fresh and with intense citrus flavors. Drink now, but better to wait until the end of 2014.
