The 2023 vintage, awarded two stars (“Remarkable”) by the Guide Hachette des Vins, is a striking example of Sancerre’s silex terroir.

Expect aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and delicate floral notes, layered with a distinctive flinty minerality. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and focused, showing tension, depth, and a long, saline finish. It’s expressive now but will develop further complexity through 2029.
