Product Description

Overview

Winery: Michel Thomas

Thomas Sancerre Blanc Silex is an intensely aromatic and concentrated Sauvignon from the Silex soils, this is a wine of great concentration and excellent balance. Aromas of fresh herbs, with flavors of citrus, ripe gooseberry, apple and a hint of gunflint. A delicious aperitif and the classic match for goat cheese or asparagus.

"Fresh, with inviting plantain and gooseberry notes backed by a nervy, flint- and chive-filled finish that really stretches out nicely. Racy and vibrant, with excellent minerality underneath. Drink now."
