Domaine Michel Girard Sancerre ‘Silex’ - 75cl

BOT027

New product

This wine is sourced from two exceptional vineyards of Silex (flint) soil. Grapes from old vines were hand-picked and gently pressed, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was made by Philippe Girard, Michel Girard's son, and we decide the blend with him for this Boutinot selection to reflect the very unique Silex terroir and character.

Although the Girards have vines growing in all three of Sancerre's major soil types, this wine is sourced from two exceptional vineyards of Silex (flint) soil. Grapes from old vines were hand-picked and gently pressed, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was made by Philippe Girard, Michel Girard's son, and we decide the blend with him for this Boutinot selection to reflect the very unique Silex terroir and character.

Tasting notes

If ever there was a wine that tasted of the soil in which it was grown, this is it! Philippe Girard's Silex Sancerre opens with a crackle of gunsmoke and earthy, stoney notes. The full palate is lively and expressive with pronounced minerality and a long, long finish. Fantastique.

Food match

Please decant before serving to release the full potential of this wine. A fantastic match with shellfish or river fish such as trout or zander; or the classic crottins of goats cheese.
