Pierre Prieur et Fils, Sancerre Blanc (Loire Valley, France) 2021

Mar 20, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 The 2021 Les Silex Blanc is crisp and energetic, with crowd-pleasing fruit and an abundance of saline minerality.   This exuberant Sauvignon Blanc quickly hits all the notes with a classic nose and flavors of apricot, lemon-lime zest, fresh hay, thyme, orange blossom, and honeysuckle over layers of stone fruits, Meyer lemon, and oyster shell minerality.  The palate opens with freshness before melting into a truly endless and refreshingly thirst-quenching finish.
